| History |
Kilsoquah Preserve is an exclusive property offering limited home sites for discriminating individuals and families, two miles from historic downtown Roanoke, Indiana. The name Kilsoquah Preserve was chosen in honor of the land’s historic significance.
Prior to the founding of Roanoke in 1845 upon the location of a “lock” on the Wabash & Erie Canal, the area was a vast 25,000 acre marsh land teaming with wild life and home to the Miami Indians. Kilsoquah, the granddaughter of Chief Little Turtle, lived in Roanoke and was known by locals as “the last of the Miami tribe.” She died in 1915 at the age of 105. Her death symbolized the passing of Roanoke’s origins before European settlement.
Kilsoquah Preserve has been carefully planned to preserve the beautiful wooded, rolling natural setting, which was revered land at the time the Miami Indians thrived in the Roanoke area. |
