The Long Run Massacre
presented by
The Painted Stone Settlers

In 1781 Squire Boone encouraged the settlers at his Painted Stone Station to flee to the more populated Linn Station in present day Louisville.  A group of Miami Indians attacked the settlers while they were traveling with their families and household goods.

This became known as The Long Run Massacre.
