Year Erected: 1957

Marker Text: About 5 miles southwest on this road was Beard´s Bluff. Located on an easy crossing point of the Altamaha River, it was one of the most important posts on the Southern frontier of Georgia during the Revolutionary War. The post was fortified by a stockade early in the War, and a Company of Light Cavalry was stationed there. Beard's Bluff was the scene of frequent skirmishes with Creek Indians. During one of these engagements, in December 1776, a number of men were killed, and were buried in unmarked graves near the stockade.

Re-erected by the Georgia Historical Society in 2021.
