FALLS of the OHIO STATE PARK

The Falls of the Ohio State Park is located on the banks of the Ohio River in Clarksville, Indiana, just south of Interstate 65 and within minutes of downtown Louisville. The 386-million-year-old fossil beds are one of the largest naturally exposed Devonian Fossil beds in the world. The park features an interpretive center containing an exhibit gallery, video presentations and a spectacular view of the fossil beds. The months of August thru October provide the best accessibility to the 220 acres of fossil beds, as the river is at its lowest level during this period.

Step back in time to the Great Steamboat Era with a tour of the HOWARD STEAMBOAT MUSEUM. This beautiful 1894 home--built by premier steamboat builders, the Howards of Jeffersonville, Indiana--features original furnishings, brass chandeliers, stained glass windows, and intricate carvings throughout--even a grand staircase!

Master craftsmen from the shipyard created much of the decor in the mansion. Howard built steamboats included the luxurious J.M. White, the speedy City of Louisville and the popular Indiana. Models, photographs, paintings, half-hull models and other artifacts from the Great Steamboat Era abound at this unique Jeffersonville Museum.
