Fallen Timbers Battlefield, National Historic Landmark battlefield in Maumee, United States.
Fallen Timbers Battlefield is a National Historic Landmark and a site listed on the National Register of Historic Places, located in Maumee, Ohio. The grounds feature wooded ravines, walking trails, and historical markers, surrounded by a highway and commercial areas.
In August 1794, US forces under General Anthony Wayne defeated a coalition of Native American tribes here, ending the Northwest Indian War. The Treaty of Greenville, signed the following year, opened much of the Northwest Territory to American settlement.
The monument shows bronze statues of General Wayne, a Native American leader, and a settler standing side by side. This arrangement lets visitors see that the site is recognized from more than one point of view.
The site is easy to walk through, with marked trails and informational signs spread across the grounds. Since everything is outdoors and the weather can change, wearing sturdy shoes and bringing a layer of clothing is a good idea.
Turkeyfoot Rock, a large stone with carved markings, was moved to the monument in 1953 and no longer sits at its original location on the battlefield. It still receives traditional offerings, showing that the site remains a living place for many people today.
