The George Rogers Clark Memorial rotunda is built of Indiana limestone with marble embellishments in a circular classical design on the site of old Fort Sackville in the oldest Hoosier city along the Wabash River. At its center stands a large bronze statue of a young Colonel Clark by sculptor Hermon MacNeil. Seven twenty-six-foot-tall murals by artist Ezra Winter tell the frontier story from crossing the Cumberland Gap to the Louisiana Purchase. The murals were painted on Belgian linen in Winter's studio rather than directly on the walls, and some touchups were needed after their installation in 1934.
