Savage River Camp

General Braddock's 3rd camp on his march to Fort Duquesne June 16, 1755. The route, later known as the Old Braddock Road, passes to the southeast of the National Road. Captain Orme's diary says "we entirely demolished three wagons and shattered several" descending Savage Mountain.

Marker is at the intersection of National Road (Alternate U.S. 40) and Finzel Road, on the right when traveling west on National Road.
