This tablet marks the site of General Edward Braddock's sixteenth encampment named "Salt Lick Camp." Here Braddock's army camped July 3, 1755, after having marched six miles from Jacobs Cabin Camp. The circuitous route via Mount Pleasant was made to get around a great swamp. Six miles beyond was Braddock's next camp called "Thicketty Run Camp."

This tablet is erected to commemorate the 200th Anniversary of the Birth of George Washington by the History Club of the East Huntingdon High School October 1, 1932.
