Washington's Trail 1753
Travel with George Washington through western Pennsylvania
Washington's Trail is a driving route through western Pennsylvania.
Traversing modern highways, the route commemorates young George Washington's first military and diplomatic venture in the Fall and Winter 1753 - 1754. Today, the route follows major roads. However, in some areas there are alternate historic or scenic routes suggested which may more closely align with Washington's travel in the Fall of 1753. Historical markers are erected along Washington's route through scenic western Pennsylvania countryside. *NEW* Signs have been added along the route in Maryland!
