Gen. Edw. Braddock, equipped to attack Ft. Duquesne, cut a 12 ft. road north through the western wilderness. On July 2nd, seven days before their defeat, his troops rested midday at springs nearby then marched a few miles NW from this point to Jacob's cabin, their 15th encampment.

Marker is at the intersection of Main Street (Pennsylvania Route 31) and Braddock Road Avenue (Pennsylvania Route 981), on the right when traveling west on Main Street.
