George Washington
As a major representing the governor
of Virginia, came here in 1753, bearing
a letter to the commander of the
fort, warning the French to withdraw
their forces from this region
claimed by Great Britain.
This mission was one of the first links
in the chain of events that settled
forever the dominance of our land
by the Anglo Saxon.
Marker is on High Street (U.S. 19) north of West 1st Alley, on the right when traveling south.
