We are planning the 7th Trail of Death Commemorative Caravan Sept. 17-22, 2018. We will meet at 7:30 a.m. at the Fulton County Museum, Rochester, Indiana, on Monday, Sept. 17, the day after the Trail of Courage Living History Festival Sept. 15-16. We invite you to join us at the festival and get acquainted.

Beginning with a ceremony at Chief Menominee statue at Twin Lakes at 9 a.m., we will drive 660 miles from Indiana to Kansas on the original 1838 route taken by the Potawatomi on the forced removal, Trail of Death. We will stop at historical markers, give programs at schools and museums, etc. If you are interested in going with us, fill this in.
