Vincennes, Indiana

Quabache Trails Park
Site #16 - $13. p/w

This was a beautiful, well treed municipal park on the outskirts of town. We arrived about 7 p.m. Much later than our usual stop for the night time!It was still very hot and muggy at 28 C, so we made good use of our air conditioning.

The town of Vincennes is the oldest continually inhabited European settlement in Indiana and one of the oldest settlements west of the Appalachians.  The first settlers were Canadians and it was part of a French Colony of Canada. It was associated with Quebec until after the American Revolution, then it when it became part of Virginia and later Indiana.  However, our visit was short. We didn't get much time to enjoy the pretty surroundings!
