Erected in 1837 by Thaddeus Stevens and James D. Paxton. Stevens' antislavery stand led to its destruction by Gen. Jubal Early, June 26, 1863, on his way to York during the early Gettysburg campaign.

Marker is at the intersection of Lincoln Highway (U.S. 30) and State Route 233, on the right when traveling east on Lincoln Highway.
