A summer sunset from the Iroquois Park Overlook on the south side of Louisville, Kentucky. Iroquois is a large municipal park in the southwest corner of Louisville, that was first developed in 1888, and in time grew from 313 to 725 acres. Along with several viewpoints like the above, it also preserves a stand of old growth forest. In addition to views of Louisville, a visitor can see parts of Indiana, including parts of New Albany, Floyds Knobs, and the hills that line the northern side of the Ohio River. The park was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, and is managed along with Cherokee, Shawnee and numerous other city parks as part of the Olmstead Parks Conservancy.

A view of the George Rogers Clark homestead, where he resided from 1803-1809. It was at this location in 1803 that a famous meeting between William Clark (George’s brother) and Merriweather Lewis, occurred, to plan and prepare the Lewis and Clark Expedition. George Clark resided on the property another 6 years, until a severe stroke led to an accident that left him disabled, and unable to live on his own. He ultimately moved across the Ohio River to Locust Grove, a property owned by his sister and her husband. Over the course of his life, George Clark was an explorer, surveyor, and military officer in the United States Army. He is also one of the founders of Clarksville, which he donated land to, from a land grant given him by the states of Virginia that covered much of present day Clark and Floyd counties in Indiana.

The cabin pictured was a replica of the cabin built by George Clark, and was burned down in an arson fire in 2021
