We took Finn to see the cabin. Its got such a pretty view (the mosquitoes like to ate us alive and the best view there smelled like pee) but all that aside if you wanted to picnic early in the day its not bad. Weve been in the spring with the flowers blooming and its just picture perfect

I stumbled across this place while taking a drive around New Albany and was not disappointed. The landmark itself is small but is located across from Louisville on the Ohio River. The views are amazing as are the sunsets!

Website has great pics. This place is linked to Vincennes, IN, so I wanted to visit. Not much to see, but we walked down the boat launch to see the Ohio River up close and Falls of the Ohio.

I grew up in Missouri so our state history in fourth grade was based on Lewis and Clark. It was really neat to visit some of the locations that were important to that history lesson! This is a gorgeous picturesque homesite.

Historic important site. Reason Lewis & Clark started the Louisiana purchase western exploration journey at Falls of Ohio River is because Clarks family lived here on the western frontier (at the time). Standing at the Clark home looking over the river one can imagine what it was like to begin their adventure.

This is a hidden gem. We had ridden past this site several times and didn’t realize it was there up on the hill overlooking the Falls of the Ohio and the Louisville skyline. The rangers on duty that day were very informative and pleasant hosts.

Great place to visit. They were so enthusiastic about the home as well as history of it & the area. They made it to where my 6 year old even loved it! They also taught us how to throw an Atalattal (IDK if the spelling is correct). Definitely recommend!!

Review №36

Fascinated with local history! Had to see the George Rogers Clark homestead since we live just across the river from Vincennes (where his memorial is located). The grounds seemed to be kept up regularly, just the log house & a couple out buildings, as well as a historical marker for the Lewis & Clark expedition. Beautiful location-overlooking the Ohio!
