Seminar Photos
The land in a 20-mile radius of the site of Dunbar’s Camp and Jumonville Glen stands today as one of the richest in American history. Here George Washington began the first true "world war." Here he fought his first battles.
Here lie the remains of British Major-General Edward Braddock and countless artifacts of his grand army. Here sit traces of the first National Road, with its weigh stations, stagecoach stops, and toll houses. The Braddock Road Preservation Association stands ready to champion these sites not only for their historic importance, but also for the magnificent story they tell about who we were and who we are as Americans.

our annual seminar...
A The Braddock Road Preservation Association was formed in 1989 as the Jumonville Preservation Association. Its first meeting was attended by a few interested history buffs, and has grown in size every year since then. The annual French and Indian War seminar at Jumonville, held the first Friday and Saturday of November, is now the largest such annual gathering in Pennsylvania and one of the largest in the country. It features:
- Guest speakers, including some of the top historians and museum directors in the field.
- Slide shows, music presentations, and in 2000 the premiere of a major documentary film.
- Exhibits of period artifacts.
- Displays by antiquarian book and rare print dealers.
- Participation by the National Park Service.
