About George Rogers Clark National Historical Park

This park marks the believed site of Fort Sackville, which the British surrendered to George Rogers Clark on February 25, 1779, after his men marched across flooded prairies in midwinter. Its round granite memorial, ringed by sixteen Doric columns, was dedicated by Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1936. Inside stand a bronze Clark statue by Hermon Atkins MacNeil and seven murals by Ezra Winter. The visitor center has the park movie, a museum and rangers who open the memorial on request.
