Enoch Brown Park

Antrim Township

This park was the site of the Enoch Brown School massacre that took place on July 26, 1764 during the Pontiac Wars. A common grave and monument mark the site of this tragic historical event where eleven school children and their teacher were attacked by Indians. There was only one survivor, a student, Archie McCullough, who told how the schoolmaster had offered his own life in exchange for the lives of his class.



The victims were buried in a common grave and a monument was erected. In 1843 the grave was excavated to determine the location and number of bodies. The monument lists the names of those murdered here as follows:
