Parks in Brief: George Rogers Clark National Historical Park, Rocky Mountain National Park
George Rogers Clark National Historical Park re-creates Sackville march
VINCENNES, Ind. — On Dec. 15, 240 years after the British traveled to Fort Sackville in Vincennes, Indiana, George Rogers Clark National Historical Park will re-create the other side of the George Rogers Clark story, the march of the British to capture Fort Sackville.
It is usually Clark’s march that gets all of the attention, but the journey by the British army, under Lt. Governor Henry Hamilton, was just as difficult as Clark’s. Visitors will have the opportunity to discover more about the hardships experienced by Hamilton’s army on his way to Vincennes, including icy rivers, questionable alliances and more.
