Author Tom Speaker shares the personal stories behind the book, “They Answered the Call: The Vietnam War,” focusing not just on the conflict itself but on the veterans and families who lived through it- many from the greater Lafayette area. Drawing from firsthand interviews and a powerful return trip to Vietnam with veterans, Speaker offers a thoughtful look at how the country and its people have changed from wartime to today, blending history, memory, and reflection into a deeply human narrative.

Flint Knapping Workshop, Presented by Ed Mosher, Master Flint Knapper

TCHA is excited to partner with master flint knapper Ed Mosher for a hands-on flint knapping workshop at the Tippecanoe Battlefield. Flint knapping is the ancient art of shaping stone by chipping and flaking it to create tools such as knife blades and arrowheads. Participants will learn flint knapping techniques using provided materials and will take home their own handcrafted stone points. This workshop is open to all skill levels.

Workshop is $75.00 per person, all tools and materials are provided. 

Participants are encouraged to bring their own safety glasses and gloves, but TCHA will also provide them for attendees. Advance registration is required so materials can be prepared. 

TCHA members receive a 10% discount on registration.
