O. Box 335, Walkersville, Maryland 21793 Located Alternate Route 40, Braddock Heights, Maryland Remarks:  The memorial was proposed in 1913 and the Frederick Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution sponsored lectures and card parties,and purchased a Liberty bond, eventually raising $754.54, for the erection of the memorial. The boulder from Braddock Mountain was placed by the Grove Lime Company. In 1952, the piece was moved because of road construction and so it would be closer to the spring from which Braddock and Washington drank. The sculpture had been vandalized in the past.
