Peace Pipe on
Display
The Darke County Parks has been fortunate to have an 1814 Peace Pipe on
display for the past several months. If you haven’t taken the
opportunity to come out and view the pipe, it will only be on display
through Prairie Days (September 27th and 28th). Time is
limited to see the pipe before it must return to the Kansas City
Museum! This is one of three silver peace pipes gifted to the
Native American Indian Tribes at the signing of the second Treaty of
Greenville in 1814. The Grand Opening of the Tecumseh Room in the
Nature Center was held on July 24th and the room will also be open for
viewing. The Darke County Parks would like to extend a sincere
thanks to the Daniel & Ida Dyer collection, courtesy of the Kansas
City Museum, Kansas City, MO for the temporary loan of the pipe and
opportunity to display this exciting 200 year old artifact.
