The George Rogers Clark National Historic Park located in Vincennes has announced it will hold the 10th annual Henry Hamilton march.
On Saturday, December 21st, those interested will have the opportunity to participate in the event, which traces the footsteps of British Lt. Governor Henry Hamilton and his soldiers as they made their march to Vincennes in the year 1778.
