	FORT SACKVILLE (part of George Rogers Clark National Historical Park) Indiana
Location: U.S. 50 near Lincoln Memorial Bridge (Wabash River), in Vincennes. George Rogers Clark National Historical Park

The George Rogers Clark Memorial, a Doric temple surrounded by landscaped grounds, stands on the site of Fort Sackville, the British post captured by Clark in his daring raid from Kaskaskia in February 1779. Clark's operations against the British in the Old Northwest played an important role in opening the territory to American occupation, and the seizure of Sackville was a dramatic and significant episode in the campaign. Seven large murals depict Clark's life and the events that helped win the Old Northwest for the United States. A bronze statue of Clark stands in the center of the structure.
