While taking the kids to N. Michigan for our annual week long vaccation this past August, we stopped in at the Fallen Timbers memorial outside Toledo, OH. Once again my lousy camera skills combined with overcast skies to generate some lousy photographs.The memorial is best accessed off of I-475, on the west side of Toledo. Take the US 24 exit, West. From there it is only a short distance to the site. Recent archaeological work has located the actual battlefield site to be a short distance away from the "park".
The park s
ite itself is layed out in a grand lawn style, bordered by trees and walking paths, leading to a cluster of memorials on a small bluff over looking the flood plain of the Maumee. The largest memorial is that of Wayne, Little Turtle and what appears to be a frontiersman. Each of the bases 4 sides memorializes the peoples and events leading up to and following the battle.

Other monuments are dedicated to the US troops and militia who fought 
on August 20th, 1794. More poigniant are the memorials to the Indian warriors and Turky Foot, the Ottawa chief.
