Inscription.
Welcome to the Tippecanoe Battlefield National Historic Landmark. The land on which you now stand was the site of a dramatic conflict between two different ways of life. Many of the trees you see around you were growing here at the time of the battle. Indiana's hardwood forests provided a wealth of resources to both the Native Americans and those who were to follow. As you stroll beneath these majestic forest relics, try to imagine the dramatic changes these silent witnesses have presided over.
