This monument marks the site of Fort Ligonier. It was built in 1758 during the French and Indian War by Colonel Henry Bouquett and named by his commander, General John Forbes, in honor of Sir John Ligonier, Commander-In-Chief of the  British armies. The first fort built west of the Alleghenies by the Anglo-Saxon race, it has the distinction of never having been surrendered to an enemy.
