Fort Recovery Historical Society will observe the 100th anniversary of the monument, which was erected by Congress and dedicated in 1913, with a re-dedication ceremony focusing on all lives lost in two major battles there, the 1791 Battle of Wabash or St. Clair's Defeat, and the 1794 Battle of Fort Recovery. Featured speaker will be John Winkler, author of Wabash 1791: St. Clair's Defeat and Fallen Timbers.

The original 1913 dedication ceremony will serve as a model for the re-dedication, which will feature descendants of soldiers, Native Americans and civilians who fought in the two battles, local and state officials, representatives of the Ohio Historical Society and other historical societies, local military groups, educators, students and community leaders.

In prepartion for this event, Fort Recovery Historical Society is seeking to identify descendants of those who fought in either of the two battles. If you are a descendant of a service member, Native American or civilian who fought in the battles of 1791 or 1794, contact the Fort Recovery State Museum at 419-375-4384 or fortrecoverystatemuseum@yahoo.com.

Using southeastern Ohio as a model, this exhibit explores events in Ohio leading to the Civil War, local support of the war effort, recruitment, service in various campaigns, and the private lives of both officers and private soldiers as they performed in campaigns in various armies. The exhibit also examines human costs of the conflict on Ohio communities and how veterans were assimilated back into home life following military duty.

Central to the presentation is the use of the collection of Ohioan Larry Strayer. Strayer is one of the foremost collectors of Civil War photographs in the United States. He also has amassed a significant collection of artifacts relating to the war, particularly from communities in southeast Ohio.

This exhibit, a cooperative venture between a number of area institutions and the Ohio Historical Society, highlights the stories of individuals who served in many capacities during the war, including soldiers, women from relief associations, politicians, and members of fraternal organizations and religious support groups.

Using southeastern Ohio as a model, this exhibit explores events in Ohio leading to the Civil War, local support of the war effort, recruitment, service in various campaigns, and the private lives of both officers and private soldiers as they performed in campaigns in various armies.

This exhibit, a cooperative venture between a number of area institutions and the Ohio Historical Society, highlights the stories of individuals who served in many capacities during the war, including soldiers, women from relief associations, politicians, and members of fraternal organizations and religious support groups.

Through the lens of these themes, the exhibit explores topics such as civil rights, political dissent, pacifism, religion and popular culture and reveals patterns in our country’s response to such topics throughout history.

Using southeastern Ohio as a model, this exhibit explores events in Ohio leading to the Civil War, local support of the war effort, recruitment, service in various campaigns, and the private lives of both officers and private soldiers as they performed in campaigns in various armies. The exhibit also examines human costs of the conflict on Ohio communities and how veterans were assimilated back into home life following military duty.

Central to the presentation is the use of the collection of Ohioan Larry Strayer. Strayer is one of the foremost collectors of Civil War photographs in the United States. He also has amassed a significant collection of artifacts relating to the war, particularly from communities in southeast Ohio.

This exhibit, a cooperative venture between a number of area institutions and the Ohio Historical Society, highlights the stories of individuals who served in many capacities during the war, including soldiers, women from relief associations, politicians, and members of fraternal organizations and religious support groups.
