On Route 590 south of Route 6 in Jackson Township. It is an 80-ton glacial boulder that is 13 feet long, 10 feet wide, and 7 feet tall (partly underground). It became known as Harrison Rock because supposedly General William Henry Harrison’s soldiers used the huge landmark as a mess table as the army traveled between Fort Meigs on the Maumee River and Fort Seneca (in Old Fort) on the Sandusky River. In 1946, a plaque was placed on the boulder by the George Croghan Chapter in Fremont of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
About “Tracking the Troops, Tippecanoe & Perry, Too!”This driving tour is a five-county collaborative project with Wyandot, Seneca, Sandusky, Wood and Ottawa counties that takes you on a self-guided driving tour following the military trail of General William Henry Harrison during the War of 1812. Harrison would later become the ninth president of the United States and has the shortest presidency, dying from pneumonia one month after having taken the oath of office.
