An Epic Turning Point
in Colonial America's History
welcome to
The Battle of the Monongahela
July 9, 1755
The BBHC, in North Braddock, Pa., stands on the very ground where the Battle of the Monongahela — better known as “Braddock’s Defeat” — took place. It is the most widely recognized battle of the French and Indian War (1754-1763) which developed into the first world-wide great powers conflict, the Seven Years’ War (1756-63). This battle was crucial to the military education of a young George Washington and helped inform his destiny as commander of the Continental Army in the American Revolution.
