The Road That Helped Make Pittsburgh Possible

4:20 At the intersection of Franklin and South Trenton avenues in Regent Square, an unassuming blue marker commemorates the spot where President George Washington once camped. Good Question! asker Taylor Stessney noticed the sign, which dates the campsite to November 24, 1758. “I was just curious, considering how it looks now with all these buildings and everything, what did this area look like at that time?” That marker commemorates Forbes Road, a historic military route across Pennsylvania built during the French and Indian War. And Pittsburgh was at the heart of the conflict. “It was just an unbelievable series of events.” Credit Katie Blackley / 90.5 WESA
