Big Bottom State Memorial
Monument
A state memorial approximately 20 miles upriver from Marietta at the site of the Big Bottom Massacre of January 2, 1791 — the deadliest Native attack on Ohio Company settlers. A party of Delaware and Wyandot warriors attacked a small settlement of Ohio Company settlers who had been unable to reach Campus Martius. Twelve settlers were killed and two taken captive. The massacre ended the Ohio Company's optimism about quick peaceful coexistence and forced a reevaluation of frontier defense strategy.
