Fort Coombe, a Maryland stockade fort of 1755–56 located north of this point. One of the frontier forts during the French and Indian War. The survey of the Mason and Dixon Line during 1763–68 placed it in Pennsylvania instead of Maryland
House built on site of Fort Coombe
There was a white, twelve room house built on this site and according to the man that owned it, the house was used as a hospital during the Civil War. There was also one room that was used for a Headquarters. It had a large marble fire place and a ceiling of various tin designs. Some of the rooms upstairs were small as if they were hospital rooms at one time.
I lived in the house when I attended high school in the early 1950s. The spring house was supposed to have been used also during the war. We used it also because the water was cool, fresh and free running. The spring house is in shambles but still standing. I want to get a picture of it before it completely goes.
