Wayne Trace - Fort Wayne, IN USA - Daughters of the American Revolution on Waymarking.com

A Native American trail route from the Maumee River in Fort Wayne, Indiana to Cincinnati, Ohio was used by 3 colonial era generals. The story is documented by the text on a placard placed near the origin in Seiling Park at 2200 New Haven Ave, Fort Wayne, IN 46803:

The DAR "Golden Wheel" does not appear on the plaque.

From the Mary Penrose Wayne Chapter website:
"A bronze plaque mounted on a large stone dredged from the Saint Mary’s River, this marker denotes the old Indian trail used by the armies of Generals Harmar (1790), Wayne (1791), and Harrison (1812). DAR members presented the monument to the city in 1906, and placed it in Seiling Park at Wayne Trace and New Haven Avenue. After someone damaged the marker in both 1990 and 1993, the city park board moved it away from the intersection."
