Description: The Potawatomi Trail of Death marker along County Road 500 North in Tippecanoe County, Indiana. It reads: In 1838 some 800 Potawatomi Indians, being forcibly removed from Marshall County to Kansas, camped along this road, the LaGrange-Logansport State Road. On this "trail of death", scores of Native Americans suffered and died. The mother of Chief We-wiss-sa, said to be over 100 years old, died near here on September 12, 1838. Erected by Tippecanoe County Historical Assn. 1988
