At age 81, d’Arlier was called out of retirement to restore the Mona Lisa, using a special technique with his thumbs instead of brushes.

Construction began on the Wabash and Erie Canal in 1832 to connect Lake Erie to the Ohio River, making travel and trade easier and cheaper. Towns along the route prospered as increased commerce fostered urban and agricultural growth. By 1846, the canal was completed through Covington, but the water stopped just north at Attica because of a leak and sparse rainfall. Covington leaders demanded Attica open Lock 35, release the water, and share the economic benefits of canal access. In September 1846, armed Covington men marched on Attica and forced open the lock after a violent skirmish, but the water soaked into the ground and stranded commercial boats. Heavy rains allowed boats to reach Covington in November, resolving the conflict.

In 1906, local business and professional leaders came together to donate 55 acres of the ravine to the city, creating a public park. The city expanded the park in 1911 by purchasing 35 more acres to the east. Since then, the park has been a hub for community gatherings and recreation.

Cicott Park Mural

View Website

Local Artist Zac Cody worked with the Warren County Historical Society and County Park Founder, John Henry, to come up with a historically accurate mural. This mural depicts the second trading post of French Canadian fur trader Zachariah Cicott (The first white settler in Warren County 1800-1850). The kit house was bought in Vincennes and was transported up the Wabash to current day Independence. The timbers were numbered with roman numerals and constructed by skilled craftsmen. This two story structure was constructed using the French Pièce sur pièce wall construction. The roof could have been cedar or shale, the windows were likely grease paper windows, and the foundation was likely made from locally sourced sandstone. The house was said to be set on a knoll overlooking the Wabash river and had a stockade around it for livestock and personal protection. The full mural shows the variety in landscape that Warren County boasts. On the right the Wabash river splits Warren and Fountain County to the east. The middle shows the dense forests that blankets our land. The left shows the continental transition from the central hardwood forests to the great prairie plains to the west. In the early 1800s when Cicott was trading at this location, this could have been the landscape diversity that he observed.

Historical Marker: Harrison's Trail
