Geocache Description:

This Recreation Area named after an Indian Woman
~ Kilsoquah ("Sun Woman") ~
She lived 105 years -- from 1810 to 1915 and the granddaughter of ME-SHE-KIN-O-QUAH or Miami Indian Nation War Chief Little Turtle. She saw the frontier forests of Kekionga and Northeast Indiana evolve into the thriving city of Fort Wayne. She also saw the Miami Indians' woodland culture replaced by the technology of the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Please visit the Forks of the Wabash Historic Park which preserves the story of the opening of the frontier in the Midwest as it was lived out in one small town. It pays tribute to two hundred years of occupation by the Miami Nation, to the woodsmen and traders who first brought western goods and ideas to this land, and to the craftsmen and laborers who built the canal and the towns. At the Forks you will find the 1840's restored Chiefs' House. This elegant Federal style home served as the headquarters for the Miami, and three treaties with the U.S. Government were signed on its lawn. The Forks is also home to a restored schoolhouse, and the Nuck log cabin. The Nuck family came from Germany and worked for the Miami Chiefs Richardville and LaFontaine. The Visitors Center and Museum holds exhibits relating to the Wabash & Erie Canal and to the Miami along with a Gift Shop filled with traditional arts and crafts. http://www.historicforks.org/
