Jumonville Glen, The Site that Sparked a World War - FAYETTE County

Deep in the wooded ridges of Western Pennsylvania rest an unlikely site, one that once started a World War. Under the shadow of these rocks, LtCol George Washington would experience his first taste of battle in an encounter that would lead to controversy and outrage. The events of that day is still debated but since then the National Park Service has seen fit to preserve the land of Jumonville Glen so that it's story can be told for generations to come.
I invite you to learn that story and how the ripples of time lead to the world we know today on this episode of Keystone Curiosity

Definitely on the list. Came across that one mentioned in the Forbes Expedition while researching this one and Ft Necessity. Glad you like it !

I forget which video it was, but i thought it was interesting to find out that the Lehigh River was once owned by a company. If you can find out more information, that would be interesting. Thank you.
Great video.
