Exploring Indiana's Historic Sites,
Markers & Museums - South East Edition

Fort Knox II is about ten minutes north of Vincennes on Old Fort Knox Road. This Indiana State Historic Site is located on a back road in an out of the way location. However, there are signs leading the way and it is not difficult to find. The fort has not been restored. However, State personnel have outlined the known perimeter of the palisade walls with wooden posts and, by archeological excavation, found many of the forts features. A series of bronze plaques tells the history of Fort Knox II from its construction to its dismantlement. Soldiers disassembled the fort to reassemble it in Vincennes, building Fort Knox III in the process. It will take about forty-five minutes to read all the plaques and ponder what went on here in this now quiet and restful spot.
