The Edmond's Swamp (sometimes listed at Edmund's Swamp) was another encampment along Forbes Road, named for a swamp nearby in Shade Township. This plaque, like the others, is believed to be along the original tract of Forbes Road.
The Edmond's Swamp Plaque was dedicated on Sunday, June 1, 1930. It reads: "The fort stood a few rods west of this marker. The Forbes Road leads westward to Stony Creek Encampment 10.5 miles from Fort Bedford."
