Ninth Annual Henry Hamilton March
On December 16, 2023, park staff and volunteers will offer visitors the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of British Lt. Governor Henry Hamilton and his soldiers as they made their march to Vincennes in 1778. Their journey to Fort Sackville challenged the soldiers with uncertain weather conditions, ice-choked rivers, and constant fear of ambush. After a long grueling march, Hamilton and his men arrived in Vincennes on December 17, 1778. The British would hold the fort for over two months before Clark launched his “winter surprise” to retake the region.
