General Braddock’s tenth camp, June 26, 1755, on the march to Fort Duquesne, was at the Half King’s Rock, one mile NE of here. The Rock was named for Washington’s friend Tanacharisson, the Iroquois viceroy (half king) of the Ohio Indians. Washington met him here in 1754.

Marker is at the intersection of National Pike (U.S. 40) and Jumonville Road (Pennsylvania Route 2021), on the right when traveling west on National Pike.
