John Kennedy Lacock Braddock Road Postcard No. 7: Braddock Run in Allegany Grove, Maryland
1908
Cumberland, MD 21502Caption:
The old Braddock Road from Sandy Gap follows the course of the old National Road to Allegany Grove , one mile distant. In this beautiful grove traces of the old Braddock Road are distinctly discernable. One of the most picturesque scenes is the fording of Braddock's Run. On the north side of the ford is Lake View Cottage. On the north and south sides of this grove respectively run the old National Road and the present National Road laid out in 1835. Major Chapman, on May 30, 1755, marched but two miles, hence must have camped here at Allegany Grove.
