Information

The Fort Dewart, McLean's Encampment plaque is missing! Where it went, we don't know. We don't even have a picture of it, so enjoy this photo of the Fort Ligonier plaque, which is similar.

The Fort Dewart plaque was dedicated in 1930, like the other Forbes Road plaques. It read: "Built by Colonel Henry Bouquet and Garrisoned for several years. The Forbes Road leads westward to Edmond’s Swamp, 17 miles from Fort Bedford."
