Close-up view of the marker.

Inscription. After the American Revolution, the arrival of more settlers to the Ohio Country threatened the fragile peace between Native Nations, the British and the United States.

Land boundaries were set between the British and the U.S. at the Treaty of Paris in 1783; however, Native Nations were excluded from these negotiations. In the years preceding the Battle of Fallen Timbers, further international councils were called, but peace could not be achieved.

Erected by Metroparks of the Toledo Area.
