Trail of Death

About 850 Potawatomi Indians camped here near Williamsport September 14, 1838. Two deaths occurred in the evening. Three chiefs were transported in a jail wagon because they refused to leave their beloved homeland in Indiana.

Marker is at the intersection of Main Street and South 2nd Street, on the right when traveling east on Main Street.
