Just south of this point stood the house of Adam Reed, Esq. In 1755 it was turned into a fort. Here, with Rangers from Hanover Township, Reed protected the people of the countryside against Indian raids.
So far I can find no info about this house or Fort. Only that it was one of many on the frontier at the time.
