Defeated Camp Burial Ground:
From the Park Sign: “Defeated Camp Burial Ground: The McNitt Company, a group of early settlers organized in Virginia for protection on the trip to Kentucy settlements, was camped here on Boone’s Trace. Failing to post a guard they were massacred by Indians on October 3, 1786. The Victims were buried here at the site of their last camp.”
Levi Jackson Historic Stump:
From the Park Sign: “At this site on October 3, 1786 a young woman of the McNitt Party, settlers who came to be known as the “Defeated Camp”, gave birth to a daughter in a hollow tree after escaping an Indian massacre that killed all but 3 members of the party. This plaque marks the spot where the tree stood and where subsequently the stump of the tree was located”.
