The Lewis and Clark National
Historic Trail Interpretive Center imparts to the public a personal
sense of President Thomas Jefferson's vision of expanding America to
the west; it inspires awe and awakens curiosity toward the challenges
faced by the expedition as they portaged the great falls of the Missouri
River and explored the 'unknown'; brings to life the daily experiences
of the expedition and the environment and native peoples of the 'uncharted
West'; and celebrates the indomitable spirit of human discovery we all
share. |
Below: The Interpretive Center
chronicles the journey of Lewis and Clark, as well as the important
experiences with Plains and Northwest Indians. Re-live the 1804-06 Lewis
and Clark Expedition's 8,000-mile journey across western North America.
Learn details of the plants and animals that expedition members documented.
Feel the Expedition's disappointment at the impossibility of a Northwest
Passage water route. The Center's exhibits and ranger programs bring
alive the indomitable spirit of exploration.

Comment: Too bad today's world
does not have some of these etiquette rules and politeness and respect
of others anymore. Too many parents are just not raising their children
with manners. |
