  • Kethtippecanunk, a Mixed 18Th- and Early L9th-Century Town on the Banks of the Tippecanoe River- Recent Research by Jones, James R., III
    Kethtippecanunk, A mixed 18th- and early l9th-century town on the banks of the Tippecanoe river- recent research by Jones, James R., III Jones, James R., III (Department of Anthropology, Indiana University- Indianapolis ) KETHTIPPECANUNK, A MIXED 18TH- AND EARLY l9TH-CENTURY TOWN ON THE BANKS OF THE TIPPECANOE RTVER- RECENT RESEARCH Early aboriginal, and later, mixed Euroamerican-Indian occupations near the mouth of the Tippecanoe River are reported in documents during the latter two-thirds of the 18th century, and continue until the early 1800s. Inhabitants or users of the area included Native Americans such as the Wea, other Miami groups, the Potawatomi, and Euroamericans such as French traders. By the late 1700s, the mixed French-Indian town of Kethtippecanunk (site 12 T S9) was flourishing there, and consisted of a large number of substantial structures and a predominantly Euroamerican settlement style, until destroyed by militia in 1791. Analysis of past surface artifact collections from the site (1984- present), and controlled archaeological and magnetometer reconnaissance by IU-Indianapolis in 1987, reveal an occupation quite different from the downstream sites of the Wea Village (12 T 6), Fort Ouiatenon (12 T 9), and the "Kickapoo Mascouten" area north of the fort. Given its cultural "mix" and utilitarian emphasis upon trading, artifacts from Kethtippecanunk were expected to reflect a predominantly Euroamerican pattern, especially in terms of architectural, construction, hardware, and kitchen items. Comparison of 12 T 59 to the other 18th-century sites in the region should help reveal differential patterns of acculturation and historic development for the various early historic cultures in Tippecanoe County.

  • The History of Tippecanoe County Compiled by Quinten Robinson, Tippecanoe County Historian the SETTING Tippecanoe County, Locate
    The History of Tippecanoe County Compiled by Quinten Robinson, Tippecanoe County Historian THE SETTING Tippecanoe County, located in west-central Indiana, is about 65 miles northwest of Indianapolis and 100 miles southeast of Chicago. Tippecanoe County is 21 miles east to west and 24 miles north to south and Lafayette, the county seat, is situated on the banks of the Wabash nearly in the center. About one-half the surface consists of broad, fertile, and nearly level plains. The balance consists of gently rolling uplands, steep hillsides or rich alluvial bottoms. Occasional wetlands or bogs are found but those were largely drained by the beginning of the 20th century. The Wabash River flows nearly through the middle of Tippecanoe County from northeast to southwest. Tributaries to the Wabash River that drain the north and west parts of Tippecanoe County are the Tippecanoe River, Burnett Creek, Indian Creek, and Little Pine Creek. Draining the south and east parts of the county are Sugar Creek, Buck Creek, North, South and Middle Forks of the Wildcat Creek, Wea Creek, and Flint Creek. Besides Lafayette, cities and towns in Tippecanoe County are West Lafayette, the home of Purdue University, Battle Ground, West Point, Otterbein, Dayton, Clarks Hill, Romney, Stockwell, Americus, Colburn & Buck Creek. In 2010 county population was set at 172,780 PREHISTORIC TIPPECANOE COUNTY The terrain, the Wabash River, and the creeks you see today in Tippecanoe County came to their present condition about 10,000 years ago as the last continental glacier retreated northward leaving a vastly different landscape than what had existed before the advance of the ice sheets began over 700,000 years ago.

The Ouiatenon Preserve is a Roy Whistler Foundation Project and an Archaeological Conservancy Research Preserve. The property will be co-owned and operated by the Tippecanoe County Historical Association and the Archaeological Conservancy. Over the last three years, this partnership has raised or contributed in excess of $1.1 million and has purchased or contracted to purchase approximately 200 acres including and surrounding the actual archaeological site of Fort Ouiatenon. The Ouiatenon Preserve is located approximately one mile west of the Fort Ouiatenon Historical Park along South River Road and the Wabash River. A significant portion of funding was awarded under the Indiana Bicentennial Nature Trust and the Indiana Heritage Trust with matching contributions provided by the Roy Whistler Foundation and The Archaeological Conservancy. The purpose of this effort is to protect these unique, important and nationally significant archaeological sites while simultaneously creating a nature preserve that will improve the environmental and ecological health along the Wabash River. These properties include 19 historic and prehistoric archaeological sites including the northern, eastern and western portions of Fort Ouiatenon and the large Native American Kickapoo and Mascouten villages which were near the Fort.
