Information

We don't know much more about Forbes Camp beyond what the historical marker tells us. From what we can tell this is just one of many encampments along Forbes Road.

The Forbes Camp marker was dedicated on Monday, November 17, 1947. It reads: "Near here was located Shawnee Cabins camp. Used by Gen. Forbes army in the campaign of 1758 against the French at Fort Duquesne in present Pittsburgh."
