The French Azilum, an 18th-century settlement along the Susquehanna River in Bradford County, Pennsylvania. Built in 1793 by French aristocrats fleeing the revolution, the colony featured a grand log mansion known as La Grande Maison built specifically for Queen Marie Antoinette and her children.
The Queen never made it to Pennsylvania, as she was tragically executed during the Reign of Terror. The settlement eventually dissolved as colonists returned to France, but the site’s history and nearby landmarks remain:
Location: The historic site is located at 469 Queens Road, Towanda, PA
Marie Antoinette Lookout: Just off US Route 6 near Wyalusing, PA, this scenic overlook provides panoramic views of the river and the original site where the Queen’s home was intended to stand.
Her last letter was “See you soon, I’m about to head out. “
“Marie Antoinette Lookout”
