Drove into Pburg, went to Ft. Borman Park. It is a high knoll right at the convergence of the Little Kannah and the Ohio River. It served as a lookout post during the civil war. There were no battles fought in Pburg. But it served as a depot to ferry soldiers by rail and water. The view of the city is amazing. Pburg has flood gates surrounding the city. The water rose up the flood walls as recent as 2004. There are locks on the Ohio River now to control flooding and navigation. There are still tugs pushing cargo on the river every day.
