Counting Down to Eclipse 2024 & Looking Back at the Eclipse of 1806


Listen Later

The countdown is winding down for the April 8th eclipse. We'll find out how plans are shaping up for Knox County and Vincennes.
A look in the vincennes history books will show that this eclipse will not be the first one of notoriety in our area. We'll talk with historian Richard Day about the eclipse of 1806, and how the brother of Shawnee leader Tecumseh, used it to unify different tribes ahead of the war of 1812.
The Wabash Valley Progressives are making progress on the new
Minooteeni Park, which pays tribute to the Native Americans who once called this land home.
We'll visit the recent Knox County Ag Day, a chance to celebrate agriculture in our community.
And we'll show you how we are preparing to cover the April 8th eclipse! You won't want to miss it!
Join us for the next First City Focus -- Saturday nights at 7:30pm on Vincennes PBS!
