William Penn, on his first visit to America 1682-1684, came farthest north on Schuylkill River fifty miles up from the falls of Schuylkill to or near the mouth of Monocacy Creek three fourths of a mile south-west of this marker.
This is what appears on the plaque. I couldn't find much more than this.
