The Falls of the Ohio is a vital cultural and natural resource for our community. Located in the town of Clarksville, Indiana, the Falls not only serves the Clarksville community but the entire Kentuckiana region. The Falls has such a historical and archeological significance to the region that it seems commendable of garnering the uppermost involvement and recognition from the community. I have done community service work at the Falls and have found numerous sources on the Internet referencing successful campaigns which have helped in bringing communities together to assist with preserving historic landmarks.
In this paper, I will argue that the local communities’ knowledge and involvement with the Falls of the Ohio is critical in preserving the landmark for future generations of the region. Not only does the environment, which encompasses the Falls, need constant tending to for the removal of debris and litter, but the Interpretive Center is also in need of improvement. The building has plans for expansion as well as having all exhibits redesigned and replaced by a more state-of-the-art exhibit design. While there are many volunteers and donors that help the Falls’ campaign to re-energize itself, there is still a long ways to go to achieve their goal.
I will concentrate primarily on the Falls of the Ohio’s redesign campaign and the community support that it needs to come to fruition. The preservation of the Falls for future generations is essential for all of Kentuckiana. The Falls resembles the crossroads where our geography, science, ecology, history, and culture cross paths. The success of this campaign and project is conceivable only through united community support and collective vision.
