Fallen Timbers Battlefield

The Fallen Timbers Battlefield was discovered in 1995 about a mile from the monument between Jerome Road and the junction of US 24 and US 23/I-475. It is being developed as a National Historic Site.

An Affiliated Unit of the National Park Service owned and managed by Metroparks, the Battlefield, which is not yet open to the public, is part of a national historic site designated by Congress and made up of three separate locations:

-Fallen Timbers Battlefield
-Fallen Timbers Monument
-Fort Miamis (a Maumee city park)
-Fallen Timbers Monument

Overlooking the rapids from a bluff above the river is a monument to the Battle of Fallen Timbers. The large statue, owned by the Ohio Historical Society, depicts the combatants in the 1794 battle that decided the future of the Old Northwest Territory: General "Mad" Anthony Wayne, a Kentucky militiaman and an American Indian. The monument is locatd on Fallen Timbers Lane (off Jerome Road), Maumee.
