Meet the Author: The Battle of Fallen Timbers, A Change of Worlds by Dave Westrick - May 20, 6 to 7:30 p.m.
On a hot, humid August morning in 1794, an army representing fifteen quarreling states met an alliance of Native American tribes at a place called Fallen Timbers. The battle lasted less than two hours, with fewer than one hundred killed. For the United States, it was the beginning of greatness and the birth of a proud military tradition. For the Native Americans, it was the end of the life they had led for thousands of years. Author Dave Westrick shares the forgotten stories of the defenders, invaders and all the people caught in the middle, at the place where the battle unfolded. Light refreshments will be provided with a sneak peak of the newest additions to the Visitor Center. RESERVATIONS REQUIRED, FREE
