The headwaters of the Auglaize are just south of you. You are on the old Auglaize-Miami portage trail, the most direct canoe route between Lake Erie and the Ohio River. Here, long before white men arrived and until 1817, was an Indian settlement -- Tawa Town -- which, during the Indians Wars, became a rallying point and served as a base of operations for the Indian warriors.

Marker is on Deep Cut Road 0 miles west of Sunderland Road, on the right when traveling west.
