Forks of the Wabash near Huntington, Indiana, preserves a landscape shaped by Native American diplomacy, early settlement, and canal-era transportation along the Wabash River. The site is best known as the location of the Treaty at the Forks of the Wabash, signed in 1838, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985 as the Chief Richardville House and Miami Treaty Grounds. Its central building, the Chief’s House, is linked to Miami leader Jean Baptiste de Richardville and treaty councils, though some accounts attribute its construction to Francis La Fontaine. Restored historic buildings, canal remnants, and archaeological discoveries deepen its historical significance.
