The fifth and final 2017 coin issued in the highly popular America the Beautiful 5 oz Silver coin series proudly honors George Rogers Clark National Historical Park. The historical significance of this site reaches deep into our early years as a nation. The Park was established in commemoration of leadership and accomplishments of General George Rogers Clark during the American Revolutionary War. An experienced surveyor during the early 1770’s, Clark surveyed throughout western Virginia and the Kentucky frontier, becoming very familiar with the area. Interestingly, George was the older brother of William Clark, who helped lead the famous Lewis and Clark Expedition of 1804-06. By 1777, the American Revolutionary War was pressing West. Clark, now commissioned as Lieutenant Colonel with the Virginia Militia began developing a strategy to attack British outposts. In mid 1778, Clark and a relatively small number of militiamen began what has become known as the Illinois Campaign. They were able to take control of a number of British posts in what is now Illinois and Indiana. Pressing into the very harsh winter conditions of February 1779, Clark and his men pushed on for over two weeks. The plan was to take the British Fort Sackville by surprise. Clark’s strategy was overwhelmingly successful, as they were able to seize control of the Fort without firing a single shot. Though there were many other significant battles that followed, this was the key victory. It is believed that this set in motion what went on to lead the British to cede the entire Northwest Territory to the United States at the 1783 Treaty of Paris. This area included what is now the states of Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin. The George Rogers Clark National Historic Park, Indiana, stands at what is believed to be the site of the old Fort Sackfield. The Monument was built in 1931, and dedicated by President Franklin D. Although the Monument and its grounds were not established as a National Park until 1966. The memorial building is circular style composed of granite, with sixteen granite columns. The top is capped by a saucer dome with glass panels. Hanging along the rotunda’s wall are seven amazing oil on canvas murals, 28 feet tall and stretching 16 feet long. Each contributing a major scene from the history of the area. Prominently positioned in rotunda is an astonishingly striking bronze statue of Clark standing over 7 feet tall. 999 fine silver coins arrive from the U. Mint in sealed monster boxes.
