Molly Pitcher Historical Marker in Cumberland County

Over the last 11 years we've been following the Pennsylvania Historical Marker Trail all through our great state and documenting them on the blog. Millions of people walk or drive by these markers every year and never give them a second thought. They're a great source of historic information and we're trying to bring some much needed attention to them. 

While following the Historical Marker Trail through Cumberland County we came upon the MOLLY PITCHER historical marker located in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. You'll find it at the intersection of Hanover Street and Chestnut Avenue. You can pull over to the side of the street to photograph it for your waymarking records. 

MOLLY PITCHER 

Mary “Ludwig” Hays McCauley, known as “Molly Pitcher,” heroine at Battle of Monmouth, is buried in Old Graveyard just east of here. In this burial ground are graves of many distinguished citizens.

By: Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission in 1949.
