Darke County Parks
DCP hosts “Military Archaeology of Western Ohio” Program
It’s no secret that we live in a community filled with such rich history that it shaped the future of our country.
After the Treaty of Greene Ville was finalized, General “Mad Anthony”
Wayne’s dispatches to the War Department related that he had revisited
and fortified the Upper Piqua, Loramie, and St Marys posts with
stockades. These outposts were garrisoned until the end of the War of
1812, when the US government sold the properties off. Since September
of 2013, Greg Shipley has coordinated an amateur archaeological project
to locate where Ft Loramie once stood. Darke County Parks are
pleased to welcome Greg on November 7 at 7pm at Shawnee Prairie
Preserve Nature Center. During this informative presentation, the
discoveries of many interesting and historical locations and how the
Wayne’s Legion Research Group has used metal detecting and
ground-penetrating radar technologies will be discussed!
Registration is required and there is a $2 fee per person.
For more information and to register visit www.darkecountyparks.org or call 937-548-0165.
