Paoli Battlefield Historical Park
Battlefield
Preserved site of the Paoli Massacre (September 20–21, 1777), where British Major General Charles Grey launched a surprise bayonet attack on Anthony Wayne's brigade encamped near Paoli Tavern. Grey ordered his men to remove their musket flints to prevent accidental firing that would alert the Americans, earning him the nickname "No Flint Grey." Approximately 53 Americans were killed and 150 wounded or captured in the night assault. The site contains a mass grave of the American dead and is one of the best-preserved Revolutionary War battlefields in Pennsylvania.
