Fort Coombe
Several years ago the site of the pre-Revolutionary War Coombs Fort was deeded to the Historical Society. This was one of the forted homes that settlers fled to during Indian attacks. Located just north of Hancock, Maryland the marker has disappeared, making the site difficult to find.
Big Spring Cemetery
The Big Spring Cemetery, burial place of the 1755 Great Cove Massacre victims, is maintained by members of the Society. The Great Cove Massacre was the second largest Indian massacre ever to occur in Pennsylvania.
