Great historic site. Everyone working/volunteering at the site was friendly. Loved seeing the basement and, perhaps strangely, the effects of the famous early 19th century earthquake. Vincennes is a nice little city. Visit may have been May 2019.

Since I grew up walking over the Memorial bridge, it has fond memories. I will say that it isn't much more than a walk but you do get a nice view of the George Rogers Clark Memorial which is a beautiful green space just sit and enjoy and it's free! What can be bad about that?
