The Treaty of Greene Ville

The Greenville Treaty Line established new western boundaries for the United States in 1797 and established peace between the United States of American and the tribal nations of the "Wyandots, Delawares, Shawanees, Ottawas, Chippewas, Pattawatimas, Miamis, Eel Rivers, Weas, Kickapoos, Piankeshaws, and Kaskaskias" following the Battle of Fallen Timbers.
Fort Recovery State Museum will be hosting a dedication ceremony "where a sycamore tree might have stood more than 200 years ago" and was a "starting point for laying out the Greenville Treaty Line". The public is invited to this memorable event
