This park is close to the site of an early French trading post on the Wabash River. During the summer there are Living History Weekends where people come and portray the people who lived here. Generally in attendance are members of the Wea Tribe, a blacksmith, and some people working in the blockhouse. This post was originally settled by the French but was taken over by the English and then destroyed by the Americans after the English left.
The park itself is not extraordinary it is just a large lawn. It is great for picnicking and the events held here such as the Feast of the Hunter’s Moon and Living History Weekends, which are a lot of fun.
Amenities
- The Block House is open on the weekends during summer months
- A boat launch goes out onto the river
- Parking is more than adequate. I have never had a trouble finding a parking spot
- Picnic tables, grills, and a pavilion make this a great place for a meal
