Braddock’s Grave (Driving time from Old Mill – 5 minutes)

Braddock was the commander-in-chief of all British forces in North America during the French and Indian War. He was wounded in battle and was burried in a hidden grave under the Braddock Road, that his troups had built. Even after the war came to an end, the Braddock Road, now known as The National Road, or Route 40, remained a main road. In the early 1800’s workers found human remains in the road. Assuming the remains were General Braddock’s they reburied the remains where the Braddock’s Grave Marker is now today.
