The history within reach
- Harvest Homecoming1.1 mi
One of Indiana's largest fall festivals, opening with a parade from New Albany High School and continuing with a week of food booths and rides through downtown New Albany.
The Falls of the Ohio were the only break in a two-thousand-mile river, a drop that forced every boat to unload and portage, which is the whole reason a city grew here.
- The Colgate clock2.9 mi
One of the largest clocks in the world, forty feet across, put up in red on the roof of a soap factory across the river so all of Louisville could read the time by it.
The only natural barrier on the whole Ohio River forced boats to unload here, and a town grew on the portage.
- Fontaine Ferry Park3.0 mi
For sixty years the big amusement park on the river at the west end admitted white patrons only, the roller coaster, the pool, the dance hall, all closed to the Black families living around it.
