Blockhouse Honors Hero at Erie Site of Wayne Memorial
A two century old blockhouse at Erie Pennsylvania stands on the former lake posts site honoring Revolutionary War general Anthony Wayne known as Mad Anthony. The structure remains intact aside from a fire resistant asphalt shingle roof installed for protection. Wayne died commanding occupation forces in 1796 and was buried at the blockhouse base before his remains were moved to Radnor burial ground ten years later.
