Colonel Henry Bouquet and
a force of approximately 400 British soldiers left Carlisle in July to
relieve the besieged Fort Pitt and end a series of unchecked attacks against
frontier outposts. The opening of western Pennsylvania to settlement
was the result of a decisive victory over the Native Americans at the Battle
of Bushy Run, August 5th and 6th, 1763. Highlights of the site include
the interpretive exhibit, “The March to Bushy Run” at the site’s visitor
center, as well as guided and self-guided tours, special events and educational
programs. |
