Fort Findlay, 1812  South from River
This depiction of Fort Findlay is probably as close as possible to what the fort actually looked like. It was made from a sketch by Dr. A.M. Linaweaver in 1879 who had a Findlay pioneer, Squire Carlin, to describe the fort to him. Squire Carlin told Linaweaver that he had seen the fort in 1814 when it was occupied with soldiers and again in 1815 when it was abandoned. (text from the Findlay Courier--October 24, 1985)
