Fallen Timbers Battlefield, National Historic Landmark battlefield in Maumee, United States.
Fallen Timbers Battlefield is a 187-acre site with flat terrain and wooded ravines, surrounded by Interstate 475, US Highway 24, and commercial developments. The location features walking trails, exhibits, and historical markers that explain the battle's events and significance.
In August 1794, the battle here marked the end of the Northwest Indian War and secured American control over the Northwest Territory. This encounter transformed the region and enabled westward expansion for the new nation.
The monument displays bronze statues representing General Wayne, an Indian guide, and a settler, with stone markers honoring both US troops and Native Americans. These figures allow visitors to recognize the different perspectives on the event.
The site is easy to explore on foot with marked trails and informative signage throughout the grounds. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and come prepared for changing weather, as the location is outdoors.
Turkeyfoot Rock was relocated to the monument in 1953 and bears carved markings that connect to the original battle site. The stone continues to serve as a place for traditional offerings and ceremonies today.
