Fort Jefferson, Military fortification memorial park in Darke County, Ohio, United States.
Fort Jefferson Memorial Park contains a stone monument marking the location of a former wooden fortification that measured 100 feet on each side.
The United States Army built Fort Jefferson in October 1791 during the Northwest Indian War as a supply depot under General Arthur St. Clair's command.
The site represents the intersection of early American military expansion and Native American territorial conflicts in the Northwest Territory during the 1790s.
Visitors can access the memorial park at 3981 Weavers-Fort Jefferson Road in Greenville without admission fees during daylight hours throughout the week.
The fort witnessed the first recorded executions of white settlers in Darke County when three soldiers were convicted and hanged following a military court-martial.
