In this vicinity, during the Black Hawk War of 1832, Sac Indian leader Black Hawk and his followers left Illinois and entered the Michigan Territory (now Wisconsin) seeking refuge with the Ho-Chunk indians at Turtle Village. On July 1, 1832, more than five weeks after black Hawk left Turtle Village and continued his northern retreat up the Rock River, General Henry Atkinson and his troops arrived here, only to find an abandoned Indian settlement with extensive gardens and fields of grain.
Rock River Heritage Walkway, jct. of Public Ave. and State St., Beloit.. Rock County.
