Just south of this point stood the house of Adam Reed, Esq. In 1755 it was turned into a fort. Here, with Rangers from Hanover Township, Reed protected the people of the countryside against Indian raids.

Marker is on Allentown Boulevard (U.S. 22) 0.2 miles west of Reeds Creek Road, on the right when traveling west.
