Fallen Timbers National Battlefield, Maumee, Ohio
Ohio Marker - Fort Miamis
Anthony Wayne Parkway Marker - Fort Miami was a fort built on the Maumee River at the eastern edge of the present-day city of Maumee, Ohio and southwest of the present-day city of Toledo, Ohio. It was built by the British on U.S. territory in defiance of the terms of the Treaty of Paris that ended the American Revolutionary War.
The fort played a role in British support for Native American hostilities against the U.S. In August 1794, Anthony Wayne defeated the Native Americans at the Battle of Fallen Timbers within sight of Fort Miami. Under the terms of Jay's Treaty, the British evacuated frontier posts within U.S. territory.
The British again occupied the site during the War of 1812, which at the time was opposite the American Fort Meigs.
The fort structure no longer stands, and the site reverted to agricultural and, later, public park use for many years, resulting in the accelerated erosion of topographical features original to the site. The site is now a protected historical site, and some of the original topographical features, though eroded, are still visible.
The Battle of Fallen Timbers
This video has been in the making for almost a year. I was going to wait until the anniversary date of the battle to upload it, but decided against that idea in case someone wanted to visit the site on that particular (or peculiar) date. IF YOU DO...PLEASE appreciate AND respect the privilege of being allowed to visit such an important battle site. And remember to STAY ON THE PATH. Thank you so much for your co-operation and enjoy the video. - The Admins

The Battle of Fallen Timbers was the final battle of the Northwest Indian War, a struggle between Native American tribes affiliated with the Western Confederacy, including support from the British led by Captain Alexander McKillop, against the United States for control of the Northwest Territory .This land had been ceded to the United States in accordance with the Treaty of Paris , but the British and Indians refused to comply with the treaty and relinquish control.British army bases were maintained there to support their Native allies.This ultimately led to the American offensive and subsequent British-Indian withdrawal from the territory altogether following the Treaty of Greenville.

Historic Fort Miamis (Drenched and Upset)
When I thought that I all I was gonna do was film another interesting historic location, I never expected nothing to really remain on the land and for the rain to suddenly move in, catching me and my camera in a downpour. It was NOT the most pleasant experience I have ever had. I do appreciate your viewership though.
Gone, and forgotten, in Ohio (the graves of Heroes from The War of 1812)
2012 marks the 200th anniversary of our last war against England. Traveling around Ohio you can find some obvious, and not so obvious, locations where forts from the War of 1812 once stood. Here's a tribute to the Heroes of 1812 who died in the Buckeye State. Some of their names we know. Others are gone, and forgotten, in Ohio. This video is dedicated to the service of these veterans. (Video recorded July 2011; December 2011.)

Fort Recovery - NW Ohio's Historic Link to the Washington Administration
Produced with a SWIVL camera on 3/5/2016 in Fort Recovery, Ohio. This was a TEST video for my 8th grade students.
Content Description:
Governor Arthur St. Clair led the bulk of the American army from Fort Washington (present-day Cincinnati, Ohio) north with the hope of establishing solid networks of passable roads and rivers that connected to the St. Mary's River, Maumee River, and the Great Lakes system of water transportation.
At present-day Fort Recovery, Ohio, St. Clair and his men camped along the Wabash River (which was mistaken for the St. Mary's) in November 1791. The force of 1200 soldiers, 150 militia, and another 150-200 camp followers (wives/children of the officers) were ambushed by Native American Indians led by Chief Little Turtle (Miami) and Chief Blue Jacket (Shawnee). The ambush quickly turned to a massacre that left over 900 soldiers killed or severely wounded. Survivors attempted to make it back to Fort Washington as quickly as possible in the frantic attack.
When word of the attack reached President Washington action had to be taken because the majority of the entire American army had been eliminated, the NW Territory (Ohio Country) was in crisis, and European nations anxiously hoped to pounce on the region and/or fledgling American republic.
Washington convinced the US Congress to increase and train a renewed American army force under the leadership of Revolutionary War veteran, Anthony Wayne.
Over the next two years, Wayne trained his legions of new recruits and focused specifically on Indian-fighting strategies. Wayne arrived in the Ohio Country and marched to the site of the previous massacre at the Wabash River. After constructing blockhouses and establish solid fields of fire, Wayne's men were able to defeat a force of nearly 2500 Indians (among them were Little Turtle & Shawnee's tribes) in 1794. Wayne wanted to secure victory at the Wabash to prove a point to the Indian tribes. The site would henceforth be known as Fort Recovery--having recovered the ground and remains of the 1791 US Army fallen.
Wayne continued throughout the Ohio Country, and his expeditions culminated with a major victory at Fallen Timbers (near present-day Perrysburg, Ohio) and the Treaty of Greenville which would aim to end fighting with tribes in Ohio and increase American settlement in the Ohio Country.
The remains of the dead would be buried in a mass grave in Fort Recovery, Ohio, and the US Congress supported the adoption of an official memorial at the site in 1912. President Taft signed the measure, and construction was completed by 1913. Today the memorial includes the names of the officers that fell in 1791 at the Wabash River battlefield, and each Memorial Day the Fort Recovery community commemorates all of the fallen with nearly 900 American flags at the memorial park location.

Scenic Stops: Wolcott House
Named for James Wolcott, a prosperous businessman during the late 1820's to the mid 1840's, only the Wolcott House is original to the site. Built by James Wolcott and his wife, Mary Wells, the Wolcott House began as a log house and evolved into a beautiful 14-room Federal-style mansion between the years 1827 and 1836.
James and Mary Wolcott had five sons and a daughter. Their home passed through three generations to Wolcott's great-granddaughter, Rilla Hull, who was the last of the Wolcott line to reside in the Mansion on the Maumee. She cherished the heritage of her ancestors and the broader history of the lower Maumee Valley and took an active role in preserving local sites such as Fort Miamis. Upon her death in 1957, Ms. Hull bequeathed her home for public use and benefit; St. Paul's Episcopal Church transferred the landmark to the City of Maumee for use as a historical museum.
