Conestoga Town, Native American archaeological site in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
The archaeological location spans multiple acres along the Susquehanna River, containing remnants of log structures and burial grounds from indigenous settlements.
William Penn conducted negotiations with tribal leaders at this settlement, which remained active from the 1690s until approximately 1725.
Excavations at the site revealed materials dating to the Piedmont Archaic period, demonstrating the extended presence of Susquehannock and Conestoga communities.
The National Register of Historic Places designation in 1973 ensures ongoing preservation and research opportunities for understanding Native American life patterns.
The settlement represents the last known surviving Susquehannock town site in Pennsylvania, marking the final chapter of their territorial presence.
