Fort Ouiatenon

Fort Ouiatenon is a historic landmark located in West Lafayette, Indiana that holds great significance in the region's history. Built in 1717 by the French, this fort served as a trading post and military outpost during the French and Indian War. It was also a meeting place for Native American tribes, fur traders, and European settlers, making it a central hub for trade and alliances in the area.

With its scenic location along the Wabash River and rich historical background, a visit to Fort Ouiatenon is a must for anyone interested in Indiana's past.
