Battles of Pennys and Luce Landing
1814 - 1926
At Penny's Landing Farmers and Militia prevented the capture of Sloop Nancy by British Man of War Sylph. At Luce's Landing Revenue Cutter Nathan Hale was captured by British Frigate after a valiant defense for three days by its crew and the assembled farmers. Ye who tread in their footsteps remember their valor.
