Ayr Township has a place in Civil War history. In June 1863, Confederate raiders crossed into Fulton County. They came to take horses, livestock and supplies. On June 29, Union troops of the 1st New York Cavalry attacked them. Two Confederate soldiers were killed, and 32 were taken prisoner, including their captain. According to the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, these were the first Confederate soldiers killed in battle on Pennsylvania soil. Local residents buried them there. The state marker for this event was first placed along Buchanan Trail (PA 16), and you can find that road on the map.
Hunter Mill at Websters Mill
Websters Mill is printed on the map too. A state marker there tells of Hunter Mill, a grist mill William Hunter built in 1812. The marker says it ran on a water wheel and still used much of its old machinery.
