Took a motorcycle ride on a Friday and I was perfect. No crowds nature as it should be. Beautiful!! Grew up going to camp there but my husband had never been there. It's great to revisit history. He loved it. Just 2 things! First that night I was covered by bug bites which that's with it. Second I couldn't find Moses rock. It was there 40 years ago. Lol. It is still beautiful!

Who was Jumon? He was a French soldier and under unclear circumstances George Washington killed him leading to his surrender to the French at Fort Necesity and the start of the French and Indian War. Pleasant surroundings to relax and reflect on the beginnings of our country.

Worth a visit if you are a history buff, but not really a lot to see in the glen. Ties together with Fort Necessity and other areas in the rt. 40 corridor so it can be an interesting stop as part of a multi-site outing.

We were quite moved. Lovely hike to a serene spot that belies the horrors that occurred here. Well worth the time.

After visiting Fort Necessity, we were drawn to Jumonville Glen to see where George Washington had his controversial encounter with the French. It's a simple place, but worth a visit. There is ample parking, and a paved path back to the glen.

Located off Jumonville Road along the upper portion of the mountain. Site of George Washington's first military engagement long before the American Revolution. Named for the French officer slain there, the glen itself is quite peaceful. It's a short walk down a paved path to the rocky outcrop overlooking the glen where the French were ambushed by the detachment from above. There are a few weather-worn placards along the path that speak to what happened there. If you read ahead about the site, it's that much more interesting in terms of the significance of the brief firefight that took place here over 250 years ago. Once you're at the base of the glen, the trail becomes a dirt path easily followed back out of the glen to the parking lot. A peaceful setting in the shade of the woods where an event of historical significance led to future events which shaped the nation. Use caution on the paved path and the dirt path though, both can be slippery, especially given the damp conditions and moss. Strollers are best left in the car. Just walk carefully with kids, running down the path can easily lead to a bad fall.

Jumonville grunds are very peaceful and gives you a closeness to GOD. To walk to the cross and look at the beauty from there is an experience and you realize the beauty god gave us

This was where George Washington stood and where the first shots of the French & Indian war were started. Amazing that we could stand in that spot some 250 or so years later
-
This is a nice place to check out. There are plenty of geocaches in the area also. Another hidden treasure in fayette county.

This was great to visit the spot of the French & Indian War to show our grandchildren (who were from Virginia). It was a short hike to the spot and the informational markers were great.Our grandson was studying different Indians in school and he loved knowing about Half King and reading the marker about the Shawnee and the Iroquois. The parking lot was adequate witha clean restroom. We stood in "the spot" and talked about the huge rock formations and trees still present 250 years later.
