While we very much appreciate everyone’s interest in the unfolding narrative of Duffy’s Cut; we must ask you to please refrain from any attempt to locate and visit the actual dig site. The site is located on private property- therefore, for your safety, the privacy of the landowners, and the continued integrity and preservation of the site, all trespassers will be brought to the attention of the law.

The Duffy’s Cut Project is an ongoing archival and archaeological search into their lives and deaths and seeks to provide insight into early 19th Century attitudes about industry, immigration, and disease in Pennsylvania.  With the help of the Chester County Emerald Society, we obtained an official State Historical Marker for the site in March, 2004, thereby putting Duffy’s Cut on the map of history. The marker was dedicated on June 18, 2004, and was placed by us at the intersection of King Rd. and Sugartown Rd. in Malvern.
