Over the past 11 years we've been following the Pennsylvania Historical Marker Trail all through our great state and documenting them here 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 on the Pennsylvania Historical Marker Trail through Somerset County we spotted the Forbes Road Stony Creek Encampment marker. It's located at the intersection of Lincoln Highway US Route 30 and Whistler Road. Here's what it says.
Forbes Road Stony Creek Encampment
A fortified supply depot known as the Stony Creek encampment or fort was a little north of here. The route then leads north to the foot of Laurel Hill, the site of Tomahawk camp.

There are at least 8 other historical markers within 15 minutes driving distance from this one. All are part of the trail through Somerset County in Pennsylvania. You can find several of them documented on the Pennsylvania and Beyond Travel Blog.
