Description: This small plaque affixed to a rock beside of U. S. Route 220 near the Falling Springs Falls commemorates the location where Mad Ann Bailey once lived. Mad Ann was a frontier scout who served during the French and Indian War and the American Revolutionary War. After the Revolutionary War, Bailey continued to act as an express rider despite being over seventy years old. She died in Ohio in 1825 at eighty-three years old. Her remains were reinterred in 1901 in the Point Pleasant State Park in Point Pleasant, West Virginia.
