Just off the Ohio River Scenic Byway on a bluff above the north bend of the Ohio River, the William Henry Harrison Memorial tells the story of an amazing American. As was William Clark, he was a veteran of the Battle of Fallen Timbers and went on to become the ninth President of the United States.

There are interpretive panels describing his life and a short nature path.

Resume your trip on US 50, or take the scenic Brower Road to return to US 50 at Elizabethtown. If you want to see the Ohio and Miami Rivers, the added four miles is worth it!

The charming Ohio River town of Aurora is home to Hillforest Victorian House Museum, a stately 1855 Italian Renaissance mansion just blocks from the river and downtown historic district. Home to industrialist and financier Thomas Gaff and his family between 1855 and 1926, the mansion is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1992. The building’s Italianate architecture is reflected in its circular porches and colonnades, curved doors and windows.

Falls of the Ohio State Park is located on the banks of the Ohio River in Clarksville, Indiana (one mile west of I-65). The 390-million-year-old fossil beds are among the largest exposed Devonian fossil beds in the world. In the late summer and fall, visitors can “dry snorkel” on the coral beds. The diverse upper fossil beds are visible except when the river is higher than normal.

The state park features an architecturally intriguing Interpretive Center that reflects the layers of history at the Falls of the Ohio. Exhibits inside flow through Earth’s history, focusing on how this river crossroads shaped the America we know today. With a commanding view of the fossil beds and Ohio River, the Center features 3,000 square feet of immersive exhibits, an auditorium, rotunda, classroom, wildlife and river viewing rooms, gift shop, restrooms, and water fountains.
