Bonnet Tavern
This inn at the junction of the Forbes and Burd Roads was operated, 1779-1815, by Jean Bonnet and his heirs. In mid-1794, during the Whiskey Rebellion, embattled farmers met here and raised a liberty pole to protest the federal excise tax on whiskey. That October, troops called by President Washington camped here on their march west to quell the insurrection.
Marker is on Allegheny Road (Pennsylvania Route 31) 0.1 miles west of Lincoln Highway (U.S. 30), on the right when traveling south.
