RED STONE OLD FORT

The Red Stone Old Fort was built as a store-house by the Ohio Company in Pennsylvania, and was the scene of important movements during the French and Indian War. Here General Dinwiddie ordered the English forces to assemble until they could advance against the French in 1754. The fort was burned by the French after the English defeat at Fort Necessity. During the Whiskey Rebellion a committee of insurrectionists held a meeting here on August the 28th, 1794.
