Penns Creek Massacre

October 16, 1755, a band of Indians ambushed and killed, wounded, or took captive some 26 settlers of this region. The attack was just west along Penns Creek, and first to follow Braddock's defeat.

Marker is at the intersection of North Market Street (U.S. 522) and Susquehanna Trail (U.S. 15), on the right when traveling south on North Market Street.
