The Lick Creek site was an early 19th-century Free African American Settlement located in Orange County, Indiana. The settlement was established by free Black settlers and Quaker allies in 1831. Although Indiana was a "free" state, and the community flourished over the years, the residents of Lick Creek eventually abandoned the settlement due to ongoing racial persecution and increasingly stringent anti-Black laws. This site is currently located in Hoosier National Forest and is managed by the U.S. Forest Service. All archaeological collections from this site are housed at the IU Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology.
