Lewis & Clark's Missouri

Missouri had its own unknowns when Meriwether Lewis and William Clark traveled through it 200 yeas ago. Abundant in flora and fauna, it also contained a complex and diverse gallery of people. The explorers’ observations during their journey and the choices they made afterward had sweeping consequences for the future of our state and nation. The human geography through which the Corps of Discovery passed, as well as the post-expedition impact of Lewis and Clark on the state’s development, is the subject of this exhibition by the State Museum on display at the historic Hain House (412 Fourth Street) throughout the month of April. The 500-square foot exhibit, developed by the Missouri Historical Society, will feature high-quality color photographs of artifacts, documents, artwork and interpretive text.
