HISTORIC PRESERVATION at Fort Nelson Historical Marker.
No aboveground remains of Fort Nelson survive beneath modern downtown Louisville. A historical marker identifies the former Ohio River fortification and provides public interpretation, while streets, buildings, utilities, and riverfront redevelopment have erased the original defensive landscape and structures.
