John Kennedy Lacock Braddock Road Postcard No. 44: Christopher Gist's Plantation, Mt. Braddock, Pa.

1908

Mount Braddock, PA

Caption:

This plantation, formerly consisting of 2500 acres of land, later known as the Mount Braddock farm, is very beautifully situated. Washington, the previous year had cut a road over Laurel Hill to Gist's plantation, and threw up some intrenchments near a fine spring. General Braddock marched to Gist's plantation on June 27, 1755, and there encamped - the eleventh encampment. Mt. Braddock is very near the geographical center of Fayette county.
