New Allen Massacre Historical Marker
July 26 @ 1:00 pm - 1:30 pm
A new Allen Massacre sign has arrived! The Town of Argyle Historian, Michele Bromley, confirmed that the unveiling of the new historical marker will take place this Saturday, the 26th, at 1 pm on Allen Road, near where the cabin and cairn once stood. This is approximately halfway down from either end of the street. The marker is on the roadside, so you can pull over and park on the side of Allen Road.
The Willard’s Mountain DAR chapter has been invited in case any of their members wish to attend. The DAR was instrumental in procuring the original sign in 1927. We are all very happy to see the marker being replaced. The story of the Allen Family tragedy is an important part of Argyle’s Revolutionary War history.
The Washington County Historical Society is proud to have assisted in writing and ordering the new sign and will be in attendance.
Thank you, Town of Argyle!
