Tuesday, February 3, 2026- “The Miami – U.S. Wars, 1785-1814”
Cam Shriver will discuss the importance of this region to American
history immediately following the American Revolution. Why was the
area that became Butler County so filled with violence in the 1780s and
early 1790s? What were the stakes for the fighters involved?
