Siege of Fort Vincennes / Siege of Fort Sackville

Located on the banks of the Wabash River in Vincennes, Indiana, the George Rogers Clark National Historical Park commemorates the American victory at the Battle of Vincennes on February 23-25, 1779. Built on where historians believe the site of Fort Sackville was, the George Rogers Clark Memorial features a seven-and-a-half-foot tall statue of Clark, who was 25 at the time of the battle, and seven murals depicting Clark’s expedition to Vincennes by Ezra Winter. Near the memorial is a visitor center with interpretative programs about the battle and more information about the Vincennes Historic District.
