Shikellamy’s Old Town
On the plain stretching southeast from this ridge
was situated the Indian village of
Shikellamy’s Old Town,
which was visited by Conrad Weiser in 1737, when
on his way to Onondaga. Shikellamy was appointed vice-regent of the Iroquois Confederacy in 1745,
and made Shamokin (Sunbury) his headquarters.
Marker can be reached from the intersection of Heritage Road and Shaffer Trail.
