This plaque and stone on East River Road marks the location of the Treaty Tree.
It commemorates the Treaty which conveyed Grosse Ile (known to the Indians as Kitche-Minishon) and adjacent islands to William and Alexander Macomb from the Potowatomi Nation.
The treaty was signed by eighteen chiefs for the Potowatomi Nation on July 6, 1776.
