Featured Event
The Darke County Visitors Bureau along with The Darke County Parks and
The Treaty of Greenville Bicentennial Commission invite you to The
Peace and Friendship Summit in commemoration of the bicentennial of the
signing of the Second Treaty of Greenville in July of 1814. The Summit
begins with a banquet and a grand opening of the Park District's new
Tecumseh Room. The Peace and Friendship Summit continues on Friday,
July 25 with a grand opening of a bowery in the Park District's Prairie
Ridge Meadow. The bowery is a reproduction of the structure under which
the second treaty is believed to have been signed on animal skins.
Immediately following the bowery opening, an Honor Ceremony will be
held with State and Local dignitaries and Tribal representatives
presenting wampum belts, and Native American prayer and dancing. The
event continues through the weekend with a schedule of demonstrations,
speakers, storytellers and re-enactors as the summit merges with "The
Gathering at Garst" event on Saturday and Sunday, July 26 and 27 at
Prairie Ridge Meadow across from The Garst Museum. For more
