This is a compilation of my photos and videos of my exploration of the historic Braddock's Road in the Maryland Panhandle, Pennsylvania, and parts of West Virginia.

First, you can see traces of the old British military road on Big Savage Mt, in Maryland, in two different seasons. Then, I stop at various sites along the trail. It ends in Braddock, PA, where the infamous Battle of the Monongahela took place.
