On the banks of Pleasant Run, Clark County Indiana, the Shawnee had a village dating from perhaps 1750. Around 1790, a meti (French/Shawnee mixed) trader named Charles Tully ran a trading post, Local legend says the Shawnee defeated a force from Utica Indiana at Battle Creek.
Around 1799 whites moved in and renamed it Springville. From 1801 to 1802 it was the county seat of Clark County. The seat was moved, and residents abandoned it for nearby Charlestown.
These Utica ruins are known as the witch’s Castle. Legend says that Charles Tully’s daughters lived here.
