It contains three monuments, including a 1929 statue of General Anthony Wayne.","why_significant":"The nomination presents the August 20, 1794 victory of General Anthony Wayne over the Indian confederation as the culminating event in the struggle for the Old Northwest. The victory asserted American sovereignty in the west and led to the 1795 Treaty of Green Ville. It opened a period of peaceful settlement of the Ohio Country.","narrative":"Nine acres of high ground above the Maumee River valley in Maumee, Ohio, mark the site of the Battle of Fallen Timbers, fought on August 20, 1794. The state-owned memorial park holds three monuments: a 1929 statue of General Anthony Wayne flanked by a Native American and an American soldier, sculpted by Bruce Wilder Saville; Turkey Rock, linked by legend to Chief Turkey Foot; and a plaque listing the men of Wayne's army. The actual fighting covered a far larger area, and the surrounding land is still mostly farm fields. The battle matters because Wayne's victory over the Indian confederation, together with the British refusal to shelter the defeated warriors, weakened resistance to American expansion. It led to the 1795 Treaty of Green Ville and opened the way for rapid settlement of the Northwest Territory. The park is fenced and dedicated to recognizing the battle.","period_of_significance":"1794","architect_builder":"Bruce Wilder Saville (sculptor of the 1929 monument)","architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":"State-owned memorial park, occupied and open to the public without restriction; interpretive material is very limited, and the surrounding landscape remains largely agricultural.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:09.905191-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/66000616_NHL.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/66000616/1e5b67a543-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/66000616/1e5b67a543-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Fallen_Timbers_Battlefield.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Fallen_Timbers_Battlefield.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71986519","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallen_Timbers_Battlefield","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5432259"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/lucas-county/fallen-timbers-battlefield-66000616/"}
