Forbes Road - Stony Creek Encampment

The Stony Creek Encampment was one of the stops along the original Forbes Road where the troops stopped, rested, and regrouped on their way from Carlisle to Fort Duquesne. More information cannot be found about "The Ovens" supply headquarters. An educated guess would assume this camp was a supply stocking or restocking stop.

The Stony Creek Encampment marker was dedicated on February 27, 1951. The marker reads: "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."
