D Largent

This is a simple, yet beautiful park with the views of the Mississippi River below and the confluence of the Kaskaskia River (which flows through my hometown of Shelbyville, Il) . One can see the redoubts of the old fort.

This place would get five stars if it were open. Google Maps reports it as open 24/7. There was a locked, metal gate preventing entrance through the door when we visited on May 6, 2024. There were no signs on how to gain entrance.

Volunteers are welcoming and full of information. Museum has some quite interesting artifacts.
