George Rogers Clark National Historic Park

The British flag would not be raised above Fort Sackville Feb. 25, 1779. At 10 A.M., the garrison surrendered to American Colonel George Rogers Clark. His American army, aided by French residents of the Illinois country, had marched through freezing floodwaters to gain this victory. The fort’s capture assured the United States' claims to the frontier; an area nearly as large as the original 13 states.

Hoosier National Forest

At more than 200,000 acres, the Hoosier National Forest comprises roughly half of Indiana’s public forest land, and while stewardship is a primary mission here, more than 260 miles of trails—including more than a dozen trails designed to accommodate hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding—create abundant recreational opportunities. The forest is also home to the Charles C. Deam Wilderness Area, the state’s only remaining recognized wilderness area.
