Conflict and Memory: Digging into the Copus Massacre
2026-03-16 19:00 - 20:00 (America/New_York) | The Cleo Redd Fisher Museum, 203 East Main Street, Loudonville, OH, 44842, United States
In September 1812, during the War of 1812, tensions between settlers and Native Americans in north-central Ohio reached a violent climax at what came to be known as the Copus Massacre. Following the forced removal and destruction of the nearby Greentown Indian village, many Native residents were betrayed by the US Army and blamed their white neighbors, intensifying hostilities. Reverend James Copus, a settler who had been close friends with the Greentown residents, was targeted alongside soldiers stationed in the area. The resulting attack left several settlers, soldiers, and natives dead.

The Copus Massacre of 1812 was one of the most significant and tragic events to occur in north-central Ohio during the War of 1812. This program explores the wider context of the war and the nearby Greentown Indian village, the events that led to the clash between local settlers and Native Americans, and the enduring legacy the conflict left behind. Finally, the program will highlight the results of the first phase of modern archaeological work at the historic site, shedding new light on the landscape and stories tied to this turbulent moment in Ohio’s past.

Why the West Went to War in 1812
2026-04-20 19:00 - 20:00 (America/New_York) | The Cleo Redd Fisher Museum, 203 East Main Street, Loudonville, OH, 44842, United States
This talk answers the question: What was the link between western states and territories and the War of 1812? Investigating backcountry culture and its influence on shaping the Northwest Territory’s organization is central to understanding why settlers living in trans-Appalachia adamantly supported war against Great Britain and their Indian allies. Expressions of backcountry culture can be found in the petitions sent during Kentucky’s formative period of development when the qualifications of land ownership were still undecided. There is a common thread in the petitions that will help us to understand what backcountry settlers considered prerequisites for gaining title to their property in the new western lands. Meanwhile, the frequent and violent encounters with the Ohio Valley Indians justified, in the minds of the settlers, their claims to land ownership.
