Description Asylum Township.jpg |
English:
The Susquehanna River, Asylum Township, Bradford County, as seen from the Marie Antoinette Lookout off of US Route 6 near Wyalusing in Pennsylvania. Visible from here is the French Azilum Historic Site, where some Revolution-fleeing French aristocrats settled in 1793. It was said that Marie Antoinette planned to settle in a house across the river from the lookout which was allegedly built for her. The marker reads: A settlement of French royalists, who fled the French Revolution in 1793, was established in the valley directly opposite this marker. It was laid out and settled under the direction of Viscount de Noailles and Marquis Antoine Omer Talon. It was hoped that Queen Marie Antoinette might here find safety. Marie Antoinette Lookout, Route 6, Wyalusing, PA.
