"Remember the days of old,
consider the years of many generations;
ask
thy father and he will shew thee; thy elders and
they will tell thee."
Deuteronomy
32:7
"In
all
of us there is a hunger,
marrow-deep, to know our heritage
- to know who
we are and where
we have come from. Without
this enriching knowledge there is
a hollow
yearning. No matter what our
attainments in life there is still
a vacuum. An emptiness, and
the most disquieting
loneliness." Alex Haley

Road W 75 South in Wayne Township,

Marker reads:
THE WEA PLAINS

Plains and still contains many
species of the original prairie
vegetation. This is one of the
last remnants of the Indiana
prairies that covered much of
Tippecanoe County. It is
preserved and managed as a memorial
to the Indians and early settlers to
whom these grasses and flowers were
once familiar.
