About Battle Ground

Battle Ground is a quiet, scenic town just north of Lafayette and West Lafayette, home to around 1,800 residents. Best known as the site of the 1811 Battle of Tippecanoe, the town pairs its rich history with an easygoing small-town rhythm. The Tippecanoe Battlefield is now a peaceful landmark featuring wooded walking trails, picnic grounds, and a museum, while Burnett Creek and the surrounding countryside add to the open, green setting.
