==Fort Recovery Memorial==
In 1891, the battle sites around the fort were excavated. The remains of some 1200 people were buried in a memorial park established in downtown Fort Recovery. In 1908, President [[William Howard Taft]] signed a bill that allowed for the building of a monument for those killed under the commands of Arthur St. Clair and Anthony Wayne in Fort Recovery. In 1910, his administration gave the village of Fort Recovery $25,000 to commission the monument.

The monument, in the form of an [[obelisk]], was built in 1912 and dedicated on July 1, 1913. The obelisk stands  {{convert|101|ft|4|in|m}} tall. It weighs approximately {{convert|800|ST|MT}} and cost $23,700 to build. Today that monument is part of a historical landmark known as '''Fort Recovery State Memorial''', which is maintained by the [[Ohio Historical Society]].  A replica of Wayne's fort has two reconstructed [[blockhouse]]s with a connecting [[stockade]].

The '''Fort Recovery State Museum''', opened in 1938 during the [[Great Depression]]. It features life-size [[diorama]]s of fort soldiers and the various Indian tribes involved in the fighting. Exhibits explain Wayne's campaign and include military and Indian artifacts, uniforms, weapons, paintings and maps.  The museum features a gift shop and offers programs for school groups.

In 2011, students from [[Ball State University]] found the original location of a fort wall, not far from the Fort Recovery state museum.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://phys.org/news/2011-06-mystery-ohio-fort-recovery-students.html |title=Mystery of Ohio's Fort Recovery solved by students |website=phys.org |author=Ball State University |date=21 June 2011}}</ref>
