— 40 mile route taken by Gen. Herkimer Aug. 3-6, 1777 —

40 mile route taken by Gen. Herkimer Aug. 3-6, 1777 for the relief of Fort Stanwix. The Battle of Oriskany Aug. 6, between Herkimer's men and St. Leger with his Indians was the turning point of the Revolution.

Near this spot was the site of
Fort Herkimer, built in 1756,
around the second stone house of
Johan Jost Herchheimer,
Father of Gen. Nicholas Herkimer.
Here Nicholas passed his boyhood,
and here he rested
when returning wounded
from the Battle of Oriskany.
