George Rogers Clark National Historical Park — Attraction in Vincennes

Beautiful, well-maintained, little unit of the National Park Service that's situated nicely along the Wabash River and the Illinois border in Vincennes, Indiana. Homage to the conflicts with the French, British, and American Indians in order to build what has become these United States.

My husband has an architecture background and loved the use of perspective in the design.
