Abstract:
On August 13, 1972, a monument was rededicated at Speedwell Furnace, the colonial ironworks on Troublesome Creek in Rockingham County. Speedwell Furnace was an important county location for nearly 150 years, serving as a crossroad store, polling place and grist mill. Its statewide historical significance stems from its use as a bivouac during General Nathaniel Greene's southern campaign, which led to the final defeat of the British at Yorktown.
