Overview

Back in 1753, George Washington traveled through our area and camped along the Connoquenessing Creek in a village called "Murdering Town." But where was it, and why was it given such an ominous name? At our first meeting of the year, Tom Nesbitt - a local historian from the Zelienople Historical Society - will share with us the story of this journey and, using new documentation on several Indian villages in the area, discuss possible locations of Murdering Town.
