\nA Clarksville man pleaded guilty to setting a fire two years ago that destroyed a replica of a historic cabin that George Rogers Clark once called home. <\/p>\n
Jason Fosse pleaded guilty Monday to arson in the May 2021 fire near the Falls of the Ohio State Park that destroyed the replica cabin. The only thing left standing was the chimney.<\/p>\n
Fosse was arrested a day after the fire, after he was identified from surveillance images. <\/p>\n
The cabin was Clark’s home from 1803-09, according to the Falls of the Ohio website. Clark and his older brother built the home there in 1803 as a place to spend his retirement years, according to the National Parks Service. <\/p>\n
The cabin was rebuilt in 2001 after the original was destroyed in 1854. <\/p>\n
The site was also an “integral part of the Lewis and Clark expedition story,” according to the Falls of of the Ohio. <\/p>\n
Indiana DNR said it wants to rebuild the cabin as part of a larger renovation at the Falls of the Ohio. The project is still in the planning stages.<\/p>\n
Fosse is scheduled to be sentenced November 17. He faces up to 12 years in prison.
