National Historical Landmark- Forks of the Ohio

This is the junction of the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers and is the strategic key to the Ohio Valley.

The French erected Fort Duquesne here in 1754; the British replaced it with Fort Pitt in 1758. The spot now forms Point Park, and the site of Fort Pitt has been excavated.
