In 1803, Merriweather Lewis and William Clark met in what is present day Clarksville, Indiana at the cabin of George Clark, William’s brother, to organize and plan what would become the Lewis and Clark expedition. The area today is known as the Falls of the Ohio, a cataract on the Ohio River, and the location of a famous fossil bed. The statue pictured is located near the location of the famous meeting, on the banks of the Ohio river.

The John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge, originally known as the Cincinnati-Covington Bridge was renamed in honor of its designer and builder. When it opened in 1867, it was the longest suspension bridge in the world. Roebling is also known for designing what would become the Brooklyn Bridge in New York. However due to his death during the course of the project, finishing that bridge fell to his son, Washington Roebling, who completed the Brooklyn Bridge in 1883.
