Site of wooden-walled Fort Finney, built in 1786 by the military to deter Indian raids, it is directly across the Ohio River from downtown Louisville. Renamed Fort Steuben in 1791, it closed in 1793. The village that grew around the fort became Jeffersonville, Indiana. To the right are 2 bridges, Lincoln Bridge & Kennedy Bridge, the actual site of the fort. I was born a few blocks away at the Clark County Memorial Hospital.
