Mc Alevy's Fort
Inscription
A frontier blockhouse was erected near this site in 1778 by Col. William McAlevy, pioneer settler and Revolutionary War officer. It was a refuge point for early settlers. The village was founded by entrepreneur Robert McBurney in the 1840s. He actively developed the village in the decades that followed.
Several 19th century ironworks and mills in the vicinity contributed to its growth.
