About Prophetstown State Park:
Prophetstown State Park is at the junction of the Tippecanoe and Wabash Rivers. The park was shaped by glaciers, water, fire, and conservation efforts that created a 900-acre prairie. Native Americans lived and hunted in the area because of its abundance of food sources. The state partners with the town of Battle Ground to offer "The Farm at Prophetstown," a 1920s farm lifestyles exhibition.
