Fort Ouiatenon and its collection
Source
In 1930, a local doctor named Richard Wetherill constructed a replica of Fort Ouiatenon. This replica, although not an exact match to the original fort's construction style, is now the central point of a county park. The original site of Fort Ouiatenon, located about a mile from the replica site, was discovered and confirmed through archaeological excavations in the 1960s.
