An Indian Ambush
In 1788, William Smuthers, Gilbert LeClerc and his wife, pioneers, were on their way to settle the land they bought, which later became the site of Munfordville. The men were killed by Indians, about 4 mi. SE of here. The deed taken as part of the booty. Land resold before title was found not to be clear. Original deed found and building in town was resumed.
Marker is on Bacon Creek Road (State Highway 728) east of North Dixie Highway (U.S. 31W), on the left when traveling east.
