George Rogers Clark National Historical Park - Currently

Currently

In late July 2008 George Rogers Clark National Historical Park is scheduled to be closed for a year in order for a three-million-dollar renovation, being done by Frontier Waterproofing of Denton, Texas. Superintendent of the park Dale Phillips said: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime restoration project, and is critically needed for the long-term preservation of the Clark Memorial". The main goal is to fix the drainage of the terrace, which has leaked since the 1930s, and renovate the access steps. The George Rogers Clark Memorial closed in August 2008 for a major restoration project. It reopened in late September 2009 and was rededicated on October 3, 2009. The Spirit of Vincennes Rendezvous in 2009 is not believed to be impacted by the renovation.

George Rogers Clark National Historical Park will be honored on an America the Beautiful Quarter representing Indiana in 2017.
