Battle Hollow is about a half mile to the west of this site. There the militia caught up with Black Hawks rear guard. Fierce fighting took place. It was the battle that ended the Black Hawk War.

Grateful appreciation is given to Dr. C.V. Porter whose hard work and dedication preserved this segment of history for all.

The State of Wisconsin recognizes Dr. Porter's markers as part of Vernon County history but does not condone the language or prejudicial inferences used on some of the markers. Dr. Porter used descriptive, interpretative language which he researched and felt was acceptable for his time.
