Quinton’s Bridge
On March 17, 1778, Colonial militia formed a line of defense on the south bank of Alloways Creek. The British, having occupied Salem, attacked the next day and by a ruse drew the Colonials across the creek into a(n) ambush. Seven Colonials died in the retreat, but the creek line held.
Marker is at the intersection of Quinton Road (U.S. 49) and Quinton Alloway Road (County Route 581), on the right when traveling east on Quinton Road.
