Join the Bobblehead George crew at Point State Park in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for a look at the Forks of the Ohio... the location of Fort Duquesne and Fort Pitt!
From about 1750 until 1815 the Forks of the Ohio, where the Monongahela and Allegheny Rivers join to form the Ohio River at Pittsburgh, was a strategic key to the Ohio Valley and the vast territory drained by the upper Mississippi River. Men of three nations fought and died struggling for control of this strategic location, where the bustling city of Pittsburgh.. one of the first permanent settlements by the English west of the Allegheny Mountains... arose in the shelter of a series of fortifications.
Still later, the forks was a major gateway to the West for waves of settlers pushing into the Ohio & Mississippi Valleys.
