Built on the site of General St. Clair's defeat in 1791 and "Mad" Anthony Wayne's Battle of Recovery in 1794.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Neat!

Memories! Forty years ago, my brother (not the insane, evil one) and I occasionally went to Fort Recovery, sometimes with two brothers who were camping and canoeing buddies of ours, for dinner. There was a restaurant, I can't remember the name of it, that served awesome steaks. They came out from the kitchen sizzling on a metal platter, memorably tasty and juicy. The place was always busy and lively and friendly, and the service and food were excellent.

 

There were historical displays in the public library that, if I remember correctly, was very near the fort.

 

Edit: As I browsed the photos a second time, the background search of my mental archives popped up the name of the restaurant. It was Meinerdings.

not the proudest moment in american history, but an important one.

Great pics!  I never knew this place existed.  A lesson in both geography and history.

Impressive monument.  Looks like a cute little town.

 

  Fort Recovery was also one of the corner points on the Greenville Treaty Line.
