Little Meadows is located at the foot of Meadow Mountain in western Maryland. It was a common stopping point for British troops during the French and Indian War and was frequented by George Washington.

After a failed attempt to ask the French to leave the Ohio territory in 1753, Governor Robert Dinwiddie sent Lieutenant Colonel George Washington of the new Virginia Regiment to drive out the French. Starting out from Wills Creek (now Cumberland, Maryland), the expedition stopped at Little Meadows in early May 1754 to make camp. Washington wrote Dinwiddie on May 9, commenting on the local terrain impeding their progress.[1] Washington and his men moved on to ambush French forces and construct Fort Necessity, where they were eventually defeated and forced to return to Cumberland. The ambush and subsequent engagement proved to be a major spark of the French and Indian War, and the larger, worldwide, Seven Years' War.
