Neat little museum showcasing local history of the 1840s that has some period piece buildings outside as well. Plenty to see inside and out, and very educational! Give yourself about 2 hours - One for the inside and one for the outside. Enjoy!

We stopped at the park and walked around while visiting the area. A very nice and well maintained historical park. I gather from looking at their website that they have even more to offer than we saw. Would definitely stop again.

Its been a while since we have been to the forks.The bridge to Ehler Island is open and every one who volunteered did a fantastic job on the suspension bridge and trails and campsites on the island.You cant do the whole trail as construction on the 9+37 bridge is on going.There is parking on both sides of the bridge.Dont miss this one its great!

Short, but nice paved trail (small stretch of dirt trail at the end) with a very cool pedestrian bridge on the western side. Great place to go for a walk along the Wabash River.

Its a beautiful outdoor black topped trail thats wheelchair accessible. Theres a garden along the trail offering a variety of plants to see and smell. Benches are located in the garden and along the trail where you can rest, just enjoy the view, or even read a good book. There are different historic cabins that can be viewed up close. The trail runs along side the Wabash River making it a great spot to go fishing too!

Wonderful paved walking trail, and several resting benches scattered around the trail. A nice new walking bridge over the river to the island. Adorable little house on the prairie type homes saved and preserved. There is a open pavilion to be used, bring your own chairs. Great view of the river.

When with my Child on a school feild trip. Did not even know this existed here locally.Its very interesting if you enjoy local history.It really gives you a different perspective on the local Indians. Many of the Cheifs were also dirty to their own trib people. Its not all the white peoples fault.

I like this place, the only problem is that it runs along a very busy highway. So it can be a little difficult to enjoy the peace and quiet of nature. But its a nice trail and park area.
