Brian Manville:

"A solitary memorial stone marks the location of Fort Venango. The fort was destroyed in 1763 - meaning there's nothing other than this stone. In fact, the stone itself says the fort was destroyed by the Indians in 1763. If you rate a historical location a 1 because there's "nothing there", you're missing the point."
