This is the dinner table where Tecumseh supposedly ate his last meal.

“Made of cherry; piece of wood moves out to support leaves; four square legs are slightly tapered. From the estate of June Weir who was born in Chatham in 1891; for a number of years she taught at McKeough School. Indian Chief Tecumseh had breakfast on this table en route to Chatham, at the old McCrae farm (later Huff's Orchard) where the donor's grandmother was born; family always referred to this table as the 'Tecumseh Table'."
