Fallen Timbers Battle Monument

By order of President Washington, General Anthony Wayne organized the Legion of the United States and defeated Chief Little Turtle’s warriors at Fallen Timbers on August 20, 1794. This victory led to the Treaty of Greenville on August 3, 1795, which opened much of the present state of Ohio to white settlers. The monument also remembers white settlers massacred from 1783 to 1794, honors the pioneers of Ohio and the great northwest, and pays tribute to Chief Little Turtle and his Indian warriors.
