The Battle Of Fallen Timbers - The Archaeology Of - Cincinnati Event
June 22, 2016 - Middletown
Dr. Mike Pratt, Regional Campus Dean will present
information on his archaeological work and its role in park
development. The Battle of Fallen Timbers (1794) was the culmination of a
decades long struggle for control of the Ohio Valley-Great Lakes region. During
19th and 20th century development of lower Maumee River valley, the battlefield
was commemorated, but its location was lost. Research and archaeological
investigations during the 1980's and 1990's revealed new information on the events
of 1794 culminating in identifying and delineating the actual battlefield
location. With local, state and federal support, the Fallen Timbers and Fort
Miamis National Battlefield site was created and affiliated with the US
National Park System. Three national park locations, The Fallen Timbers
Battlefield, Fort Miamis, and the Fallen Timbers monument are now interpreted
and open to the public.
