A Bus Trip to the Prophetstown Settlement

Saturday, November 21, 2009
11:00am – 7:00pm, Meet in front of Ball Hall

Get on the bus to tour the Prophetstown Settlement in Battleground, Indiana! Prophetstown was first settled by two Shawnee brothers in the spring of 1808, and the community soon became the spiritual, social, and political capital of a new and powerful Native American Confederation. This event will be a chartered bus trip costing $10 to hold your spot, which will be returned to you upon entering the bus. The tour will be led by Dr. Dawn Marsh from Purdue University. Please bring comfortable shoes as we enjoy this walking excursion! To register, please stop by Campus and Community Life. Sponsored by Campus & Community Life, Housing and Residence Life, and the Purdue University Native American Educational & Cultural Center.
