Trail of Death

September 10, 1838

Here at Chief Winamac's old village, about 900 Potawatomi Indians camped on their forced removal from Indiana to Kansas. A child and a man died here during the encampment. They also left behind 24 too sick to continue.

Marker is on West Towpath Road west of North Meridian Road, on the left when traveling west.
