I stopped here with a 2-year old while driving from DC to Chicago. My toddler LOVED this park which has hills to run up, stairs to climb, rivers and streams to look at, rocks to walk on, and birds to point at. I appreciated that much of it was covered by shade, and what they have done with the old canal locks is simply gorgeous. If you're taking I-90 across the country and need a place to relax and see some nature, I highly recommend Side Cut Metropark.

Place is huge! Loved the various selections of stuff, everything from antiques to homemade wood tables. Like anywhere some stuff is crazy priced and others are deals, you just need to put the time in and look around. We saw people walked around with entire carts full of stuff. If you’re in the area it’s definitely worth a stop. They even have an area to grab a snack and drink while you are there.

This place brings you back to your youth. AA great selection of old fashion candies not found most places any more They also feature a great selection of home made candies and fudge. The one think that has changed are the prices. Although they are not unreasonable but they are not like the Good Old Days.

Memorial marks the site of a 1794 battle, which is considered to have been the last battle of the American Revolution.

Fallen Timbers was a key battle in the early history of the then western United States or Northwest Territory as it was called (the area that today encompasses the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and into eastern Minnesota). Although this land had been ceded to the United States from the British after the Revolutionary War, the Native American peoples in the region took a different view, encouraged by the British who skirted the spirit of the treaty to support their Native American allies. By the mid-1790s, the United States had suffered a couple of disastrous defeats in the region, and "Mad" Anthony Wayne was brought out of retirement to save the situation for the fledgling nation. Establishing a series of outposts to reestablish American sovereignty and support his operations in the region, Wayne's forces were moving methodically northward towards the Great Lakes from the Cincinnati area. Following their progress, the Native Americans setup a position along the Maumee River in a heavily forested area recently hit by a tornado. The fallen timbers, they thought, presented a barrier that would slow Wayne's progress and make his forces vulnerable to attack. Perhaps not coincidentally, the site was also close to an outpost, Fort Miamis, that the British had built in the ceded territory. The ensuing battle was hard fought, but the Americans decisively defeated the Native American and Canadian forces that opposed them. The Native Americans retreated to the British Fort, but the British refused them entry as they were under strict orders to maintain "neutrality." The victory led to the Treaty of Greenville between the Native Americans and the United States that opened most of Ohio to settlement and greatly influenced the Jay Treaty between the British and United States whereby the British agreed to finally withdraw from their frontier forts in the region. We first visited this important battlefield some twenty years ago. The site was located on a bluff overlooking the Maumee River floodplain just beside the major freeway through the area. There was even an impressive new monument dedicated at the 200th anniversary of the battle, plus some earlier monuments dating back almost another a hundred years. However, since then some clever archaeological research has shown that the battle had not occurred here but a little farther inland from the river and a little further downstream. The area where the battle reached its climax has been turned into another historic site with a 1.3 mile trail through the woods and grasslands marked with informative placards providing a brief description of the background, battle, and aftermath. There's even a visitor center - although in name only, as the building is currently just a rentable event space with some outside restrooms accessible to the public. Since the monuments are there, the original site is also still maintained as part of the park (oddly enough this is the only place you can get a small printed guide to the battlefield) and a third site has been added at the earthwork remnants of the British fort. The latter is still in the early stages of development and will eventually include a disabled access ramp down to the Maumee River. We happened to visit on the anniversary of the battle, and apparently every year there are now reenactments, tours, etc. at the "real" battlefield site. Well, in this case, history didn't change, but our knowledge of it has seen some revision. We're not talking about revisionist history where historical events are creatively reinterpreted to fit someone's political narrative, but real history as determined by factual information. It will be interesting to return in a few years to see how this complex continues to develop.
