About 1813 the William Eaton family and other restless pioneers considered Fort LaMotte too crowded and therefore constructed a new stockade on a site several hundred yards north of here. A family trait of the Eatons, large feet, led to the name of Fort Foot.
Erected by the Citizens of Palestine and The Illinois State Historical Society, 1962.
IL-33, N. side of Rd., west limits of Palestine, Crawford County Illinois
