The marker reads:
?The meadows North of this stone form the site of
The Indian Landing.
Famous in the early history of this country.
It was the beginning of the Ohio Trail
from Canada to the Mississippi Valley.
From this point the portage ran west to the mouth of
Red Creek in Genesee Valley Park,
skirting the Southern base of the
Pinnacle and Mt Hope.
Interesting marker, as it is attached to a stone, and it has a very odd mix of larger font use. Located a bit off the road, may not normally be visible unless you are walking by.
