Davidson Interpretive Center – Where Springfield’s Story Comes Alive

Carleton Davidson was a Springfield businessman and philanthropist with a deep love for local history. After his passing, the Carleton F. and Ruth T. Davidson Trust was created by his family to carry forward his legacy. Thanks to this trust, Springfield has been enriched with meaningful landmarks—most notably the George Rogers Clark statue in downtown and the establishment of the Davidson Interpretive Center, built on the historically significant site of the Battle of Peckuwe.

Battle of Peckuwe Site – A Turning Point in the West

The Davidson Interpretive Center, now operated by the Clark County Park District, serves as an educational hub on the very land where the largest battle west of the Allegheny Mountains took place during the American Revolution. Once a thriving Shawnee settlement, the site became a focal point of conflict in 1780 when George Rogers Clark led a campaign to drive out British-aligned forces. The Battle of Peckuwe was a decisive moment, leading to the Shawnee and British retreat and paving the way for the opening of the Northwest Territory. Today, the center features walking trails, interpretive signage, and reconstructed elements that bring Ohio’s frontier story to life.
