Chief Menominee & The Trail of Death
In memory of the peaceful Potawatomi chief, Menominee, a statue was erected of him in 1909 in Plymouth, on South Peach Road. It is the only publicly commissioned statue of a Native American in Indiana.
On West 12th Road is a plaque that marks the probable location of Chief Menominee’s village and first chapel. The chapel was discovered in 1827 by a French Catholic Priest. Unfortunately, after the tribe was forced to leave, the village and chapel were destroyed. A replica of the chapel was constructed at the University of Notre Dame, which also marks the beginning point of the Trail of Death. On this trail, over 150 members of the Potawatomi tribe were forced to leave their home and move to a Kansas reservation in 1838. 12380 Peach Rd., Plymouth, IN

The quilts are painted by community volunteers, with assistance from location owners. Two volunteers, Thom and Connie Kleckner, have painted, designed and built the frames for a majority of the quilts.
