"100 Years on the Ohio River"        This historic timeline re-enactment includes Native Americans, George Rogers Clark's Militia, War of 1812, Regency Period, and Civil War.	In the spring of 1778, George Rogers Clark along with about 150 militia and 13 families, rafted down the Ohio River and landed near the Falls on Corn Island.  Clark and his men soon left on their quest to conquer the Northwest Territory.  The settlers who remained behind moved to the southern shore of the Ohio and built "Fort on Shore" at the foot of present day 12th Street.  The town they eventually established would become known as Louisville to honor both the French King Louis XVI and the vital role of the people of France in the Revolutionary War.
