    A great park. It happens to have a fantastic setting right along the river in downtown Vincennes…read more There was fog the day we arrived, and it was gorgeous to see it rising above the river and drifting along the grass area near the memorial. There is a small visitor's center available with a small exhibit and gift shop. Unfortunately, their speakers had broken, so we were unable to watch their park film, "Long Knives," onsite, though the friendly staff did advise that it was available online so we were able to watch it at home. The memorial itself is huge and located within an easy walk from the visitor's center. It does, however, require climbing a number of steps to enter, plus you'll want to check with the desk if it is open. They may be able to open it for you, if it's not already. If you opt to go inside, you can view a variety of large murals that detail how Clark's victory made the Northwest Territory possible. It was fascinating to see how the history intersects with other National Park/state historic sites we've been to - George Rogers Clark is the brother of William Clark of Lewis and Clark fame, and this Clark called a big meeting with Native tribes at Cahokia. There is also a large statue of Clark in the center of the space. There is a parking lot available onsite, plus nearby street parking, and it's easy to stroll right over to downtown Vincennes and explore the town, as well.

    If you like history, you're going to like this National Park Gem. You start in the Visitors Center…read morewhere they have a short film on the life of George Rogers Clark. When you go over to see the monument you have to climb a lot of steps and there is NO handicap access. We didn't know that if you want to go inside the monument you have to tell the Ranger so he/she can go and open it up for you. So when we got to the door of the monument it was locked. I looked up the number of the Ranger, called it and the got someone to come and unlock the door. The inside is awesome with a beautiful statue of Clark in the middle of stunning murals all around the wall. This is a must see if you are near Vincennes. Just remember to let the Ranger know you want to see the inside of the monument.
