The Trail of Death goes west on highway 104. The highway turns north to enter Liberty and becomes Main Street. Go about 3 blocks and turn east (right) on Hannibal Street – there is a sign on a wishing well on the corner pointing to the Potawatomi Historical Marker. The Trail of Death marker is in the Liberty town park.

Go back to the wishing well on Main Street and turn north (right) on 104 to leave Liberty. This angles to the west and becomes 1200 on map but stays 104 on highway signs as it is a dual lane highway. Go 11 miles to the next campsite at Mill Creek, which is on the west side of the highway before you get to Quincy.
