About Camp Charlotte Treaty Site
Camp Charlotte near present Circleville, Ohio, was associated with negotiations ending Dunmore’s War in October 1774. Lord Dunmore and Shawnee leaders, including Cornstalk, reached an agreement after the Battle of Point Pleasant. Later monuments commemorate the camp and treaty without defining the original encampment’s full boundary.
A 1928 monument and a later roadside historical marker commemorate the negotiations near the camp. These features protect the historical association rather than intact camp buildings. The marked location is separate from Logan Elm, and neither memorial establishes every position occupied during the 1774 encampment.
History happened here at Camp Charlotte Treaty Site
Conflict between Virginia forces and Indigenous communities over the Ohio country culminated in Dunmore’s War in 1774. After the Battle of Point Pleasant, negotiations took place at Camp Charlotte. Lord Dunmore and Shawnee representatives, including Cornstalk, reached terms that ended the campaign and restricted Shawnee use of land south of the Ohio River.
The agreement belonged to the contested expansion of colonial settlement before the American Revolution. It should not be treated as resolving Indigenous land disputes permanently. Later generations marked the camp with a granite monument unveiled in 1928, followed by further roadside commemoration. These memorials document how the negotiations were remembered, while the original camp perimeter and the relationships among separate nearby landmarks require historical mapping.
