This rural memorial marks the location of the Pigeon Roost settlement and a deadly 1812 attack during the violent frontier conflict surrounding the War of 1812. The state historic site preserves the location and memorial while modern interpretation places the event within the larger conflict between Indigenous nations, settlers and U.S. expansion.
