Back:
Fort Necessity, where George Washington was engaged
in his first major battle as a soldier, was established as a
National Battlefield Site by Act of Congress in 1931. This
site consists of two acres in a marshy tract known as the
Great Meadows, a treeless area varying from 100 to 300
yards in width and almost a mile in length. It is located
11 miles east of Union town, Pa. The surrounding Great
Meadows and adjoining forested hills are a Pennsylvania
State Recreational Park. The most interesting feature of
the battlefield site is a stockade reproduced by popular
subscription in commemoration of the Fort Necessity of the
French and Indian War.
