On July 9, 2012 we visited our 3rd Park in our 3rd State the George Rogers Clark National Historical Park, 401 S. 2nd St., Vincennes, IN.  One of the greatest feats of the American Revolution was Clark's capture of Ft. Vincennes February 25, 1779.  This assured the United States claim to the frontier, as area nearly as large as the original 13 states. 

In the rotunda are 7 murals painted by Ezra Winter, depicting the story of the expedition. 

In the center of the rotunda is a 7.5 foot bronze statue of Clark on a marble base.

The bronze with it's marble base weight 12 tons.  Our trip was made special by the Park Ranger who insisted on getting a picture of the two of us by the statue to show its enormity.  This Park Ranger was one of those special people who through her enthusiasm for George Rogers Clark you learned and enjoyed your visit.

The memorial is situated on the banks of the Wabash River.  This is nothing left of Ft. Vincennes.

 We would have never been to the George Rogers Clark National Historical Park if it had not been for the Ironbutt Assoication and the National Parks Passport Program.  We enjoyed this park so much, because of a wonderful park ranger.  Neither my wife nor I could remember leaning anything about George Rogers Clark.    We feel so good about what we learned and we really enjoyed our visit.  THANKS LADY PARK RANGER!!
