Along the banks of the Ohio River lies one of the world’s greatest natural wonders, a 400-million year-old fossil bed. It was once covered by the Falls of the Ohio, a raging two-mile stretch of water where the river drops 22 feet. Jeffersonville, located near the falls, is the largest inland boat-building site in North America. It produces cruise ships and ferries and, during World War II, built LST boats, submarine chasers and other military vessels.
