Vincennes is FULL of the history of the fledgling United States, when the colonies under Washington needed to defeat the English Army in the west. According to Wikipedia, the victory here was the basis control of what would become the states of Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin in the 1783 Treaty of Paris.[4] This is the birthplace of Red Skelton so his museum offers a comprehensive (and very dear) collection of mementos, film clips and movies from his life It's where young Abraham Lincoln crossed the river into Illinois with all his earthly belongings and the herd of farm animals

It felt like the middle of no where. We drove 7 hours and didn’t see a thing we liked. We ate at the dennys 24 hour restaurant the server was completely rude and the food was nasty I ate a few bites and couldn’t stomach any more. There wasn’t nothing to do budget friendly and all we seen for hours was silos. The hotel was smelly and anyone could walk into the grounds and get in the pool. There were 5 gallon buckets catching leaking water from the ceilings. The coffee pot had mold and stagnant water in the back

Cute town. There is a nice main street. The Red Skelton museum is there. A National Park is right next to the bridge over the Wabash River. The court house is a grand old building with a civil war memorial on site. The bridge is a very nice old stone design.

College town. Lots a new businesses and restaurants since I was there 2 yrs ago. Vincennes University built these beautiful apartments on the south end of the school. looks like a special little town. So much color. Not a bad town for short visits. But I lived there 15 yrs and hated it so I am biased lol. But a lot of nice changes have happened.

Vincennes is a great place to live or just to visit! They continue to grow and everything I go I notice new businesses. Texas roadhouse, steak & shake, Marshall's, kohl's etc. We don't have to drive to Evansville now to go to these places.
