Photograph- Bronze plaque erected by the Lancaster County Park Board to mark the burial site of the re-interred Indian remains:
A Dedication
This high point of land overlooking the Conestoga River and MIll Creek was used by certain American Indians as a cemetery during the first quarter of the 18th century. The accidental discovery of this important archaelogical and historical site was made in May 1979 by county park construction workers while laying a water line. Archeaologists were called in and othier careful excavation revealed that at least twelve Indian men, women and children wer buried here.
Present studies have failed to positively identify exactly who these Indians were, but Conestoga - Susquehannock is the most likely possibility. However, during the early 1700's many different Indian groups including Delaware, Naticoke, Shawnee, Senecal and others were present in Lancaster County.
Upon completion of the archaeological study, the remains of these Indidans were returned to their original resting places.
