Reviews of Hanging Tree Historical Monument
"A sad piece of Washington State history. The Battle of Rosalia (modern day high school football field) was the catalyst battle leading to the aforementioned marker where Colonel Steptoe and his forces were surrounded and routed by local native populations. Following battles were fought and can be found at Four Lakes, Washington (Battle monument), Airway Heights (Fairchild entrance/ battle monument) and the Centennial Trail a mile west of Liberty Lake before the Idaho border (Horse Massacre). This marker is the final piece of Washington States dark and tragic history."
"Nice place to stop on a motorcycle ride. If you are interested in local history there is much to read on most of these events/places. It's a shame this place is a regular dump site for trash like so many other places have become in the last few years."
"Larry said it. It is a very solemn and peaceful place. I found it by accident on a motorcycle ride and I’m glad I stopped. Now I go that way just to stop there on occasion."
"Weird be to "rate" such a solemn place. This historic marker amid the pine trees marks where Qualchan and other Indians were murdered by Colonel George Wright in 1858 (hence Hangman Creek). It is a beautiful and quiet spot today, and well worth a visit."
