The year was 1778, during the American Revolutionary War, when George Rogers Clark, his militia and 60 non-military civilians settled on this ground he named "Corn Island" which later moved to the shoreline of the Ohio river and became known as Louisville, Kentucky.

With that, we'd like to honor George Rogers Clark by naming this group after him for discovering that tiny island that later became known as our home, Louisville, Kentucky.

This month's meetup marks the 2nd Anniversary of our existence as a group,

the Corn Island Steampunk Society

June 2011 - June 2013

Here's to many more years to come.
