Verity Traditions- The Battle Of Fallen Timbers - Cincinnati Event
June 22, 2016 - Middletown
Dr. Mike Pratt 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.
