On the hill to the south, beside the Great War and Trading Path, later the Federal Road, Samuel Henry, Sr., built a fort by 1792. The half-breed John Watts and 200 followers attacked it in August, 1793. Henry’s first mill was authorized in 1795. He also built the brick mill ½ mile southwest about 1815; it operated well into the twentieth century.

Marker is on U.S. 411 ½ mile north of Henry Lane, on the right when traveling north.
