It is early summer of 1754 and a young George Washington leads a group of Virginia soldiers through the woods of western Pennsylvania. What he doesn’t know, is that after an encounter with French forces in late June, he will end up in a much more significant engagement just a few short weeks later… However this will not be just a simple clash between colonial forces deep in the frontier of North America, but rather the subsequent Battle of Fort Necessity will become the catalyst to an all out war… one that would eventually spread across the globe! 

Join us and historical interpreter Jacob Davis as we explore the incident at Jumonville Glen and the Battle of Fort Necessity… prelude to the French and Indian War!
