Wharves Built By The Mound Builders
Capt. Roland B. Smythe, known as the Hermit of the Wabash, found what appear to be two ancient wharves during a period of very low Wabash River water. Logs laid horizontally along the shore, about five feet underwater at low water, are preserved in black heartwood. The site suggests logs once formed wharf structures likely built by the mound builders centuries ago.
