On May 31, 1781, Gen. Anthony Wayne and about 1100 Pennsylvania Continental troops crossed the Potomac River at Noland’s Ferry, on their way to join forces with Gen. LaFayette, who was resisting Lord Cornwallis’s campaign of destruction and depredation in central Virginia. Today, this is seen as part of the Yorktown Campaign which resulted in the British surrender in October 1781. Sponsored by the Sgt. Lawrence Everhart Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR).
