Fallen Timbers

Near the site of the battle of Fallen Timbers, this small park contains a monument honoring Major General Anthony Wayne as well as smaller monuments to the soldiers and Native Americans who died in the battle. The battle of Fallen timbers on 20 August 1794, was decisive in bringing Indians of the Northwest Territory to sign the Treaty of Greene Ville. By treaty the Indians ceded southern and eastern Ohio to settlers. This brief an overwhelming victory for Wayne's forces, was fought in an area recently ravaged by a windstorm, hence the name Fallen Timbers.
