PROPHET'S  TOWN

PROPHET'S TOWN
Established in 1808 by Tecumseh and the Prophet as the captial of their pan-Indian confederacy. Led by Tecumseh,
 representatives of many midwestern Indian nations met and lived here in an attempt to build the greatest Indian resistance
 movement in American history.  A training ground for over one thousand warrior, Prophet's Town extended for
two miles along this bluff.  The Battle of Tippecanoe on November 7, 1811, crushed this confederacy, and
Harrison's army burned the town the following day.

Located on State Road 225 east of Battle Ground in Tippecanoe Township.
 Erected by the Battle Ground Historical Corp.
and the Tippecanoe County Historical Association 1977.
