The America250 Talk: March to Fallen Timbers, Stories of Early United States Armies

Join the Clinton County History Center on July 8, 2026, as Michael Cooper presents early American history during the period when the United States began its expansion westward.

The event is free and open to both History Center members and the general public. 

This lecture will discuss the events, places, and conflicts in western Ohio and eastern Indiana that shaped the destiny of several nations who once called the region home. Guests will discover the modern communities that trace their legacy to the early days of the American Republic and learn how the road to Fallen Timbers can still be followed today.

This fascinating program offers a closer look at the early United States armies and the stories connected to the frontier era that helped shape the region we know today.
