1947 Fort Necessity Uniontown PA Postcard

The 1947 vintage postcard of Fort Necessity is historically significant as the site of George Washington’s first real battle. The fort is shown as a circular wooden palisade in an open field, with an American flag flying at its center. The foreground features greenery and a body of water, while the sky above is partly cloudy. The text at the bottom of the postcard reads, “On National Highway, 11 Miles East of Uniontown, Pa.”
