ENOCH BROWN PARK (Antrim Twp., Franklin County) On July 26, 1764 during the Pontiac War, a small band of Lenni Lenape warriors burst into a one room schoolhouse. Despite the pleas of the teacher, Enoch Brown, to take him and leave the children, the Indians killed Brown and tomahawked and scalped the 11 children. One student, Archie McCullough, survived. It was said that he he lived a long life but was demented from that day forward. Four girls had taken off school that day. One of them, Mary Ramsey, missed because she had a premonition of evil. Sometimes it pays to listen to your inner voice. The teacher and his class were buried in a mass grave marked by a memorial. It's said that you can hear children's voices there when no one is else is present and that you can sometimes see an apparition by the spring where they found Archie McCullough.
