About the Business
Welcome to the Lincoln Memorial Bridge, a captivating tourist attraction located in Vincennes, Indiana. Our site is steeped in history, commemorating the remarkable achievements of a few determined individuals who shaped the course of American history.
On February 25, 1779, the British flag was lowered at Fort Sackville when the garrison surrendered to American Colonel George Rogers Clark. This pivotal victory, aided by French residents of the Illinois country, was achieved through a grueling march across freezing floodwaters. It secured the United States' claims to the frontier, an area almost as vast as the original 13 states.
