TOUR PROVIDER
This tour was developed by Washington’s Trail 1753, a non-profit group whose goal is to commemorate George Washington’s travels through western Pennsylvania in 1753, and his narrow escape from death, in Butler County, at the hands of a “French Indian assassin”. Discoveries made by Washington during his 1753 mission led to the outbreak of the French & Indian War in 1754.
