Big Bottom Park
There are picnic tables, information signs, and a twelve-foot marble obelisk commemorating a 1791 skirmish between settlers and Native Americans at this pleasant outdoor site.Named for the broad Muskingum floodplain, the three acre Big Bottom park is the site of a skirmish between Ohio Company settlers and some Delaware and Wyandot Indians on 2 January 1791. The Big Bottom massacre marked the start of four years of frontier warfare in Ohio, which only stopped when General Anthony Wayne and the Indian tribes signed the Treaty of Greene Ville.
