"In remembrance the Continental Army
led by George Washington
a member of the Masonic Fraternity,
and in honor of the many Freemasons
who where a part of the encampment at this site,
the Freemasons of Pennsylvania place this
monument so that future generations will know
that freedom was as important in 1997
as it was in 1777 - 1778"
