Battle of Fallen Timbers Monument

This sculpture features a 15-foot (4.5 m) bronze figure of General Wayne flanked by a Native American scout and a frontiersman, all carved in detail. The entire structure sits within a 187-acre battlefield site that includes interpretive areas and educational resources managed by local parks.

This memorial marks the 1794 battle in which General Anthony Wayne's army defeated a coalition of Native American tribes, transforming the region's future. The victory led to the Treaty of Greenville, which reshaped territorial boundaries and ended years of regional conflict.

The three bronze reliefs at the base show how different groups experienced the confrontation, offering insight into multiple viewpoints of this pivotal moment.

The monument is easy to access and has interpretive signs that help explain what happened on the ground. Visit during daylight to appreciate both the sculptural details and the surrounding landscape clearly.

Archaeological work in 1995 led to rediscovering the exact location of the battle, which updated the National Historic Landmark designation. This discovery revealed details about where troops actually moved and fought that had been lost to time.
