was erected and occupied by William Henry
Harrison, the first governor of Indiana Terri-
tory and who later became the ninth presi-

interview between Gov. Harrison and Chief
Tecumseh with about seventy-five warriors,
representing the different tribes of Indians.

maintains this romantic old home which is
truly a real show place for the many visitors
who come to Historic Old Vincennes.
