The George Rogers Clark National Historical Park Visitor Center is a great place to start your visit. The visitor center contains a small exhibit area, bookstore and restrooms. The 30-minute introductory movie called "Long Knives" shares the backstory of George Rogers Clark and his campaign during the American Revolution. Before going to the Clark Memorial, check-in with a ranger at the visitor center.
