Prophetstown State Park, named after Tenskwatawa ("The Prophet"), a religious leader and younger brother of Shawnee leader Tecumseh, is located near the town of Battle Ground, Indiana, about a mile east of the site of the Battle of Tippecanoe. Established in 2004, it is Indiana’s newest state park. The park is home to the Museum at Prophetstown, which recreates a Native American village and a 1920s-era farm.

Famous quotes containing the words state and/or park:

each time I talk to God
you interfere.
You of the bla-bla set,
carrying on about the state of letters.”

And let us, without staying,
All in our gowns of green so gay
Into the Park a-maying!”
