During the Revolutionary War George Rodgers Clark (older brother of the famous William Clark of the Lewis and Clark Expedition) was instrumental in stopping the British from attacking the thirteen colonies from the west. This monument was constructed in the 1930s to celebrate his accomplishments.
The monument, which is not accessible due to the large number of steps, contains a bronze statue of Clark and seven large murals. The site also has a visitor center with a few exhibits and a movie about Clark. Both the visitor center and the movie are accessible.
The parking lot is large enough for RVs. Monument
