It is known that the Kittanning Path was in use as early as 1721, although it had probably been used by First Nations People prior to that time. John Hart, a white trader, was given a license in 1744 that allowed him to trade with Native Americans in western Pennsylvania lands. At that time those areas were closed to settlements by whites. Mr. Hart built a campsite along the path named "Hart's Sleeping Place" in what is now Cambria County. This campsite was noted on colonial maps and it is known that John Harris, founder of present day Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, traveled the path ans slept at the campsite in 1754. The last American Indian use of the campsite was recorded in 1781. | It is known that the Kittanning Path was in use as early as 1721, although it had probably been used by First Nations People prior to that time.
