Experience the daily battle, patrol with Harrison's troops, gentlemen's duel, cannon, rifle and musket demonstrations and children's activities while strolling the grounds of historic Fort Knox II.

In 1810, Captain Zachary Taylor strengthened the fort and Shawnee Leader Tecumseh visited it. In 1811, Indiana Territorial Governor William Henry Harrison "mustered" his troops here before the Battle of Tippecanoe. The fort's stockade is marked with short posts and interpretive signs.
