Sumter New
On April 10, 2018, Scenic Sumter Heritage Byway and the Sumter Historical Society celebrated the dedication of the official state historic marker for Pilaklikaha, also known as Abraham’s Old Town, a large Black Seminole settlement that existed until 1836 when it was burned in the early days of the Second Seminole War. The town was located a few miles northwest of current day Center Hill.
The historical marker is located on County Road 567, just east of State Road 471. Black Seminole descendant and historical re-enactor Mathew Griffin is shown unveiling the historic marker and with the many project supporters who came out for the event.
