Red Skelton’s avid curiosity led him into the realm of space travel. He was very interested in the missions to the moon, especially during the 1960’s. The Red Skelton Museum is pleased to showcase nearly a dozen mission photos signed by the astronauts. All have personal messages to Red!

Are you thinking of getting hitched or want to renew your vows? Make it a day to remember during our Wedding Palooza during the “diamond ring” phenomenon happening right before the 2024 solar eclipse! Located at the Vincennes Fortnightly building at 421 N 6th St., an ordained pastor will officiate the ceremony vows right before the eclipse with a group reception to celebrate.
What is the “diamond ring” phenomenon? During the beginning of totality, a diamond ring shape appears right at the beginning and the end of totality. Perfect for couples wanting to tie the knot!
Each couple is allowed 8 guests for a total of 10 people.
Each couple will pay $150.00; this will cover the ceremony, reception, photography (this is still TBD), and a small 6-inch cake for the couple with a commemorative cake topper.
Pre-registration is required.
It is the responsibility of the couples to sort out the legal details of their marriage (getting to the recorder in your state/hometown). Find legal wedding info here.
Free parking and an eclipse viewing area is behind the Fortnightly building at 7th and Seminary Streets.
Space is limited, so register today!!

George Rogers Clark National Historical Park will host subject matter experts on a discussion of earthquakes along the Wabash River. The presentation titled “Paleoseismic Liquefaction Evidence for Strong Pre-Historic Earthquakes in Southern Indiana and Illinois” is open to the public in the park theater at 11 am on September 16. Speakers include:
• Stephen F. Obermeier, US Geological Survey, Retired
• Robert L. Nowack, Professor of Geophysics, Emeritus, Purdue University
• Ronald C. Counts, Associate Director of the Miss. Mineral Resources Institute and Associate Professor Department of Geology and Geological Engineering at the University of Mississippi.
Other subject matter participants include:
• James Conder, Professor of Geophysics at Southern Illinois University Carbondale
• Jose Luis Antinao-Rojas, Indiana Geological & Water Survey, and Indiana Univ. Bloomington
In this presentation, paleoseismic liquefaction features in southern Indiana and Illinois will be described. Although there has been regularly occurring small to moderate sized earthquakes in this region in recent and historic times, paleoliquefaction features have been used to infer the existence of past large pre-historic earthquakes over the last 15,000 years along the Wabash Valley Seismic Zone. The occurrence of paleo-earthquakes has important implications for the engineering seismic hazard for this region.
There is no charge or registration to attend this discussion. The park film “Longknives” will resume around 12:30 after the presentation concludes. The George Rogers Clark NHP Visitor Center and Memorial are located at 401 South 2nd St. in Vincennes, Indiana. Please call Joe Herron at 812-882-1776 for questions or email GERO_Ranger_Activities@nps.gov .
