Across the Ohio River from Louisville, Kentucky, you can view one of the largest Devonian fossil beds in the world preserved in a 1404-acre National Wildlife Conservation Area. In October of 1803, Meriwether Lewis stopped here to meet William Clark who was staying with his brother, George Rogers Clark. Visitors can tour the replicated home, which is a separate, private site from the state park. Lewis and Clark also spent time here recruiting men from the surrounding area for the Corps of Discovery.

The park offers both indoor and outdoor exhibits to educate visitors about the history region. Visitors may tour through the interpretive center, which features interactive exhibits for all ages that focus on local geography, culture, and wildlife. Those wanting to stretch their legs will enjoy walking the Ohio River Greenway or biking along the 1.5-mile stretch, which allows for a closer look at the fossil beds.
