Rich in history and traditions, Seven Oaks Country Club epitomizes beauty.  Secluded in a natural setting, its Clubhouse was once the setting for Colonel Henry Bouquet as he and his troops camped in 1764 after turning the tide of the French and Indian war toward the British side with the capture of Fort Duquesne.  An engineer in the expedition took note of the “luxuriant grass and fine drinking water in the branching stream that refreshed the animals” and drew a scale diagram.  In 1778, the site was a point of rest and refuge for Colonial General Lachlan McIntosh and his troops during the American Revolutionary War.
