Happy Friday, everyone. Today, we’re continuing our series on Louisville’s historical markers with a look at marker no. 2087: Mulberry Hill.
Located in George Rogers Clark Park, this sign marks the home of William Clark as well as the enslaved man York, who accompanied Clark, along with Meriwether Lewis, on their expedition across the Louisiana Purchase in 1804. You can see a statue of York at the Belvedere.
George Rogers Clark, often referred to as the founder of Louisville, was William Clark’s older brother.
The Clark family home was demolished in 1917 to make way for Camp Zachary Taylor — that’s where the Camp Taylor neighborhood gets its name today.
