Frances Slocum State Park

About Frances Slocum State Park

Frances Slocum State Park covers an area of 165 hectares, covered by a horseshoe-shaped lake and a series of paths and a small stream, and forms the focal point of the park. On November 2, 1778, a small group of Delaware Indians broke into the house of SlOCum and kidnapped Frances, who was only five years old at the time. Frances Sloco Lake is the heart of Frances's State Park and is the largest of its kind in the United States, covering 165 hectares.

On the first night of her abduction, she spent time in an area considered the border of the national park. Frances tried to escape that night but was soon caught and spent the rest of his life with the American Indians. When they moved west, he was taken with them to New York City and then to the United States, where he lived with his family for several years.

Twice married, with four children, he was found dead in his bed in a cabin on the outskirts of New York City. His brother never gave up the search and his body was found in the woods near his family's home in North Carolina.

Frances refused his brother's request to return to Pennsylvania, but he wrote and learned to live with American Indians in his home state of New York for a few years.

Frances Slocum died in Indiana in 1847 at the age of 74, and her final resting place was found in the Mississinewa Reservoir State Forest in Indiana. There is a monument marking the site of her death, also known as Mocanaquah, or Queen of the Desert, on the Mississippi near the Indiana-Michigan border, across the Mississippi River, Indiana, as well as a memorial to her.
