George Rogers Clark National Historical Park
George Rogers Clark National Historical Park, National Historical Park in Vincennes, United States.
The memorial features a circular granite structure with sixteen Greek Doric columns crowned by a glass-paneled saucer dome beside the Wabash River.
Lieutenant Colonel George Rogers Clark captured Fort Sackville from British forces in 1779, securing the Northwest Territory for the United States during the American Revolution.
The memorial building houses exhibits and artifacts that document the military campaigns, regional settlements, and interactions between European settlers and Native American communities.
Visitors can access the memorial by climbing thirty granite steps to explore the interior with marble wainscoting, terrazzo flooring, and educational displays.
The structure, dedicated by President Franklin Roosevelt in 1936, stands as the final major Classical style memorial constructed in the United States.
