The history itself is interesting, especially if you like learning about lesser-known local events, but the marker is a bit weathered and the setting is pretty barebones. There's not much around besides the tracks, so it's definitely a quick stop rather than a destination. Worth pulling over for a few minutes if you're passing through, but not something you'd plan a trip around.

Historical Marker #2072 on Main and 4th is titled "Kentucky Fugitives to Canada". It tells the…read morehistory of two slaves, Thornton and Lucie (aka Ruthy) Blackburn, who escaped to Canada. They escaped slavery in Louisville in 1831 and fled to Detroit, Michigan. However, they were captured in 1833 and ordered to be sent back to Louisville, which sparked the "The Blackburn Riots of 1833," Detroit's first racial riot. They were able to escape and were smuggled to Canada, where they started Canada's first taxi company in Toronto in 1837. I think this would be a great Canadian Heritage Minute!

The marker reads, "Five Indiana regiments were formed at this rendezvous point in 1846-1847 for service in the Mexican War. The first 3,000 men departed for active duty under Brigadier-General Joseph Lane during July, 1846." For those unfamiliar, the Mexican-American war lasted from 1846 to 1848 and followed the US annexation of Texas which Mexico still considered Mexican territory since the government did not recognize the treaty signed by Mexican General Antonio López de Santa Anna when he was a prisoner of the Texian Army during the 1836 Texas Revolution. The war was decisively won by the United States and the Treaty of Guadelupe Hidalgo was signed in 1848. The treaty gave the United States undisputed control of Texas and established the US-Meixcan border of the Rio Grande. It also ceded to the United States the present-day states of California, Nevada, and Utah, most of New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado, and parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Wyoming. Around 20% of the landmass of the 2020 United States excluding Alaska. So to those who Hoosiers formed up from here to fight for my country, thank you. [Review 13538 overall, 857 of 2020.]

Easy to miss as it's labeled with a small marker on the ground with the "read to succeed" message. Overall it's always cool to see public art or monuments and this one is no different.
