The Battle of Fallen Timbers Monument or Anthony Wayne Memorial is a statuary group created by Bruce Saville.[1]
It was dedicated in 1929 at the site of the Battle of Fallen Timbers which took place on August 20, 1794. At that battle General "Mad Anthony" Wayne defeated a combined army of various tribes led by Chiefs Little Turtle, Turkey Foot, Blue Jacket and others. The monument is located in a park, 2 miles west of Maumee, Ohio.
The monument includes a 15 foot tall base topped by a bronze statue of General Wayne flanked by figures of a Native American and a frontiersman. Three bronze bas reliefs decorate the sides of the base.
The battle site was named "Fallen Timbers" because a tornado had knocked down a large number of trees there.[2]
The United States Postal Service issued a stamp in 1929 paying tribute to the American victory that featured the image of the monument on it.
The sculpture registered as a National Historic Landmark in 1962.[3]
