FORT LIGONIER MOURNS THE PASSING OF BRAD MOONEY
How the Restoration of Fort Ligonier Began
The first pieces of Fort Ligonier land were preserved by the Daughters of the American Revolution in 1934. By 1947, the first archaeological dig was conducted on the fort grounds and researchers discovered 18th century maps in England that showed intricate details of the original fort (1758-1766). These efforts inspired the reconstruction of Fort Ligonier that has been ongoing since the mid-twentieth century.
