Reviews of George Rogers Clark National Historical Park
"It is amazing to see such a large and magnificent structure built to honor man from so long ago. I find it very Humbling that so many people took such time and effort and the cost to preserve the memory of this man for the deeds he had done. I hope more people can take the time to go venture around this great country of ours with such awesome sites to behold."
"The rangers working today were friendly, knowledgeable, and very informative. Little chilly and damp but not busy as it's close to Christmas and early in the day. Loved that the wreaths were placed on all the soldiers' graves as well."
"This is a really impressive monument, rivaling any in Washington DC. It commemorates a great American, and a key turning point in U.S. history (as in why we speak English instead of French). It is free, open to the public with guided tours, and right next to a beautiful bridge crossing the Wabash River. If you are anywhere near Vincennes, Indiana, then make it a point to visit this memorial."
"Beautiful! The rotunda is stunning and tells the history in huge murals. A wonderful view of the river and bridge, too. George Rodgers Clark was William Clark from Lewis and Clark, brother."
"The history of this site is incredible. The visitor center is small but informative. They have a theater room with a film that goes into great detail. The memorial a absolutely stunning inside and out. The inside features murals depicting various historical highlights with explanations of each. I was blown away that I had never heard of George Rogers Clark before I explored this site. Highly recommended. Little known fact... Vincennes, Indiana is the home of entertainer Red Skelton."
