The monument was erected by The Lexington Chapter of The Daughters of
the American Revolution on August 15, 1896.
The site for Bryan's Station was chosen primarily for its proximity to
the spring, which sits just off a tributary of Elkhorn Creek.

"In honor of the women of Bryan's Station who on the 15th of August 1782
faced a savage host in ambush and with a heroic courage and a sublime self-sacrifice
that will remain forever illustrious obtained from this spring the water
that made possible the successful defense of that station."
