fallen timbers battlefield

Don't travel out of your way for this one, not much more than a monument in a field on a bluff overlooking the Maumee River. It happens to be along a bike path near us (the Wabash Cannonball Trail) and makes for a nice place for a brief rest stop.

My family enjoyed walking through the area. Well groomed, interesting plants and even a bunny! Just wish there was a diagram to explain where we were walking and any other historical information. There were some signs but very vague throughout the trails. Otherwise nice time together with family.

It is a great historical site and visit. Well worth the time to plan. Ft Meigs is a very important landmark in out history of the Revolutionary war period and deserves a visit to see why it was important! One of the Chain of Forts built to protect and secure the areas.

gorgeous scenery, not crowded, easy to find with good parking and free!! Great for pets, kids and walkers.

I wish there was more to this visit as there is no visitor center to learn about the battle. There is a park with trails, and statue as a monument. Other than that there is not much to see. If you want the National Park Stamp you need to visit the library about 5 miles away and ask for it at the front desk. Had to do some Googling on my own to learn about the battle.

Fallen Timbers Memorial Park is about 10 minute drive from Ft. Meigs. It is a small park to commemorate the historical event. The actual battles took place in what is now the Fallen Timbers Mall but this site is beautiful and on a hill. There are bike/walk trails. Would recommend to take the time to visit.

The part of this battlefield that is accessible to the public is really just a small park with a statue and a few monuments. Very little information is available about what actually happened here. It's a shame nothing has been done to interpret the actual battlefield across the street- this was a key event in both the history of the Midwest and the history of Ohio. Worth a ten minute stop if you are in the area, but don't go out of your way.

Battle of Fallen Timbers (August 20, 1794) Monument & ParkMaumee’s Fallen Timbers area is actually three ( 3 ) historic early American sites.

I took my Kids Camp kids to the battlefield. They enjoyed seeing the statues and reading about it, but there was not a lot there.

A neat statue is erected to honor the ideals and peoples that fought at the Battle. 4 sides show 4 different stories. Very scenic.

There isn't a lot to see here, but the monument is beautiful and the park and surrounding area beautiful. I ended up looking up the battle on line to learn more. If you're in the area, stop in, but don't make a special trip to check out this attraction.

If you enjoy military history, and civil war era history this is a must do! Fallen Timbers commonly has events that are free to the public! Check out their website, they are worth a visit!
