This was a National Park I was not familiar with and found the visit to be wonderful. They have a 30 minute film about the history of the area and the impact on young America that was excellent. The staff are engaged and helpful with a clear enjoyment of their jobs. The huge memorial is something to behold set on... More

Over four decades, we've had the chance to visit many historic parks in the US, Canada and Mexico, and after the tour we all 3 agreed that the tour guide from Vincennes was the best guide we've encountered thus far. Perspective, enthusiasm, delivery , and adjusting the presentation to suit the audience's background - the bar has been raised for... More

I've lived in Indiana my whole life and was surprised at how large and beautiful this huge granite memorial is. This memorial commemorating George Rodgers Clark and his capture of the British Fort Sackville would bode well in DC, but this is little Vincennes, Indiana and what a great job they have done. It is the largest national memorial outside... More

I didn't know what to expect but was astounded by the size and beauty of this monument alongside the Wabash River. After climbing a slew of steps we found the doors locked but realized we hadn't been to the visitor's center. We were ushered into a theatre to watch an extremely informative and interesting video on the life of George... More

This park is an unexpected gem. The park consists of a National Park service museum, where a film is shown about the life of George Rogers Clark and his role in the expansion of the United States. The monument itself is similar to the Lincoln Memorial. It is a huge rotunda with paintings depicting Clark's role in the expansion of... More
