About this postcard

The obelisk stands in a grassy clearing enclosed by a low post-and-chain fence, with a wooded hill rising behind it. It marks the site of Friedenshütten, a Moravian mission village of Christian Delaware and Mohican Indians founded near Wyalusing in the 1760s. The settlement was one of several Moravian mission towns in the region before its residents moved west in the early 1770s.
