Historical Significance

The marker is placed near the site of Camp Charlotte where Lord Dunmore and Chief Cornstalk signed the Treaty of Camp Charlotte, which would allow the colonists to travel the Ohio River without malice, free up lands south and east of the Ohio River, and release all captives. Chief Logan sent word that he would cease fighting, but he would not formally attend. The treaty took place on October 19, 1774, just days after the Battle at Point Pleasant.
