Sunday, September 25, 3:00 - "Tippecanoe, 1811; The Prophet's Battle", Author John Winkler
For 16 years after the Greenville Treaty, there was peace, but in 1811 the settlers in the Ohio territory numbered nearly 250,000. War appeared to be coming again to the North West. Plan to attend this presentation and hear John explain the dramatic build up to the conflict as 'The Prophet' and his brother Tecumseh rallied the tribes to drive back the American settlers once again! Mark your calendars now - Sunday, September 25. Tippecanoe, 1811 books available at the museum.
All presentations will be held in the Museum Meeting Room, 1 Fort Site Street, Fort Recovery, Oh, 45846. Attendance for each presentation is free, and the public is welcome

Sunday, July 17, 3:00. Fort Recovery Museum Presents William Iseminger, "Cahokia - A City from History!" (Held at Nazarene Center, 401 E Boundary St, Fort Recovery)
William Iseminger - Author, Archaeologist, and Site Manager of Cahokia Mounds will be the featured speaker for the Fort Recovery Museum on Sunday, July 17 at 3:00. Iseminger will present " Cahokia, America's First City!" (The presentation is free and open to the public.)
The remains of the most sophisticated prehistoric native civilization north of Mexico are preserved at Cahokia Mounds of Collinsville, Illinois. At 2,200 acres, Cahokia was one of the greatest cities of the world - larger than London in 1250! The Mississippians who lived there were accomplished builders, erecting structures from homes to monumental public works that have kept their grandeur for centuries. Iseminger will detail their culture, government, religion, etc. These residents of the Mississippi flood plain, known as the American Bottom, were a highly developed civilization that survived and prospered for 900 years! (Cahokia books will be available for purchase/signing.)
Part of the Fort Recovery Museum Speaker Series, this presentation will be held at the Nazarene Center, 401 E Boundary St. Fort Recovery - which is spacious, handicapped accessible, air-conditioned and sound amplified. Also featured will be an Archaeology Display of the recent investigations of the Fort Recovery Battlefield, and Ball State University archaeologist, Chris Thompson will be available to explain and make available CD's of the research, maps and history.
