Description

At this quiet Clarksville landmark, a historical marker commemorates George Rogers Clark, the Revolutionary War leader whose 1779 campaign helped secure the Illinois Country and the wider Northwest Territory for the United States. Clark later made his home in Clarksville, the community he helped establish near the Falls of the Ohio, and spent his final years here before his death in 1818.

The homesite offers a modest but meaningful stop for travelers interested in early Indiana, the American Revolution, and the people who shaped the Ohio River frontier. Read the on-site interpretation, take a moment to consider Clarksville’s riverside setting, and pair the visit with other nearby history and nature attractions around the Falls of the Ohio.
