Prophetstown State Park commemorates a Native American village founded in 1808 by Shawnee leaders Tecumseh and his brother Tenskwatawa north of present-day Lafayette, Indiana, which grew into a large, multi-tribal community.

The park features an open-air museum at Prophetstown, with living history exhibits including a Shawnee village and a 1920s-era farmstead.

Land acquisition continued through 1999 when the legislature funded $3.7 million to create the park.

Indiana Governor Joe Kernan formally dedicated the park in 2004.

[3] The Farm at Prophetstown is a non-profit organization that rents approximately 125 acres (51 ha) from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources to show farming life as it was in the 1920s.
