Anthony Wayne
Peace Council House Open
Want to learn more about the Treaty of Greeneville, the customs of the
Native Americans, or about the history of a council house? Join a local
historian on June 16th from 1-4pm at the Anthony Wayne Peace Council
House located at Prairie Ridge Meadow Park across from the Garst Museum
to find out about these interests and more. Visitors can expect to see
gifts from the twelve tribes who signed the treaty as well as many
ceremonial items like a turtle shell representing the earth, a talking
stick, and the ceremonial fire pits. Please remember, out of respect
for the tribes who signed the treaty, enter the council house through
the east door, with the rising sun, and exit through the west door,
with the setting sun. The council house will also be open on two other
occasions this summer on July 14th and August 18th both from 1-4pm.
For questions about this program or any other program offered by the
Darke County Parks, please stop by the nature center, call (937)
548-0165, or email info@darkecountyparks.org.
Photo Caption: The council house has two rings of benches, an
inner ring for tribal leaders and speakers and an outer ring for public
and onlookers.
