An 85-foot marble monument marks the landscape of the November 1811 Battle of Tippecanoe, fought between William Henry Harrison's forces and warriors associated with Tecumseh's Native confederacy. The adjacent museum provides context for the battle and the broader Indigenous resistance to U.S. expansion rather than reducing the location to battlefield folklore.
