2026 marks the 200th year anniversary of the signing of the Treaty at Paradise Spring that opened this area to settlement. Our Board has been working to make this milestone extra special!
During the summer and early fall of 1826, a site was found and preparations made to invite the Miami, Potawatomi and other nations to negotiate for a Treaty that would allow for a canal to be built through this area. The Treaty with the Miami Nation was actually signed Oct. 23, 1826 so we have chosen the dates of Oct. 23 & 24th for the time to Commemorate this momentous occasion. Dozens of Living History participants will camp near the cabins to help recreate the atmosphere of the early Treaty Grounds. On Friday evening, we are also inviting those of Miami or other native heritage to join us for special ceremony.
