Morgan demanded the town surrender. A small force, stationed on high ground near the Vernon Baptist Church, convinced Morgan that Vernon was strongly defended. Women and children ran for the safety of Campbell's Grove before the brief fight. The Walnut Grove One Room School, built in 1913, was recently moved to the Muscatatuck County Park by the Jennings County Preservation Society and has been restored. It functions as a living museum.
Children can attend the school to experience the ways of times past.
