George Rogers Clark National Historical Park is home to the George Rogers Clark Memorial, a grand rotunda that houses a lifelike, seven-foot-tall bronze statue of George Rogers Clark. An inscription on the bronze statue of Clark reads “a country is not worth protecting if it is not worth claiming.” At 25 years old, Clark led a band of frontiersmen into Illinois County.

At the time, British forces had complete control of the county, and Indian raids on frontier settlements made the area especially dangerous. In addition to the Clark statue, the park contains seven murals that depict important events in the history of Vincennes and surrounding towns. The park is open to the public free of charge.
