There are so many places in the world that have special character in terms of design. I grew up near the area where the Battle of Fallen Timbers was fought in 1794. I actually run near the battle site every day when I'm home. Everyone in our area has visited this area at one time or another. It is a beautiful area with a beautiful and simple memorial of the battle fought on the land. The memorial has been designed to commemorate all who had fought and died in the battle. The design is not an overkill on history and has simple pieces of the battle scattered along a gorgeous trail made for runners, bikers and tourists.
Turkey Foot Rock was the location where Me-sa-sa, an Ottawa Indian chief, died during the Battle of Fallen Timbers. I have been running past this rock for over 5 years and it always gives me goosebumps when I stop in front of the rock. It's almost like you can feel spirits around it. It is said that at night the spirit of Me-sa-sa lingers around this memorial. Many people have seen his spirit!
