Great Minquas Path historical marker

Great Minquas Path, or The Great Trail, was a 17th-century trade route that ran through southeastern Pennsylvania from the Susquehanna River, near Conestoga, to the Schuylkill River, opposite Philadelphia. The 80-mile (130 km) east-west trail was the primary route for fur trading with the Minquas (o

r Susquehannock) people. Dutch, Swedish and English settlers fought one another for control of it.
