    George Rogers Clark National Historical Park is a United States National Historical Park located in downtown Vincennes, Indiana on the banks of the Wabash River at what is believed to be the site of Fort Sackville. A classic memorial here was authorized under President Coolidge and dedicated by Roosevelt in 1936. Fort Sackville was captured from British Lt. Governor Henry Hamilton and his soldiers by Lt. Col. George Rogers Clark and his frontiersmen on February 25, 1779. The heroic march of Clark's men from Kaskaskia on the Mississippi River in mid-winter and the subsequent victory over the British remains one of the great feats of the American Revolution.



    In 1966 the site was transferred to the National Park Service. Adjacent to the memorial there is a visitor center where one can see interpretive programs and displays. The center is located on South 2nd Street in Vincennes.
