Event Details

The Ohio River was important to Evansville’s early history and it is still important today. Was it always here? Why did people choose to live here? What plants and animals live in the river? How was the river utilized in the past and how do we use it today?

This exhibition looks at how the Ohio River has been a constant feature to Evansville, Indiana. The river has flooded, been altered by dams, carelessly polluted, fished, and used as a source of drinking water, power, transportation and recreation for centuries. The contemporary art included in the exhibition was selected from entries submitted by artists residing in the six states bordering the Ohio River. The artists were asked to respond visually to the broad themes of the exhibition: Settling on the River, Harnessing the River or Living with the River. Historic photographs, artifacts and documents highlight Evansville’s evolving riverfront and transportation from the steamboat era through today’s modern barges. Hands-on components include a model lock and dam and puppets of the river’s abundant animal life.

At 981 miles, the Ohio River is the largest tributary of the Mississippi-Missouri River System, the third longest waterway in the world.

The river derived its name from the Native American word, Ohi:yó, meaning “the great river.” One of the first Europeans to see the Ohio was French explorer and trader Rene-Robert de La Salle who, in 1669, named the river La belle riviere or “the beautiful river.”

This multi-disciplinary exhibition has been made possible by the generous gifts of:
