The Lewis & Clark Expedition prepared for their two and a half year journey here in Illinois. They had to pack all of the tools, equipment, food, clothing, trade goods, and more to survive and succeed in their goals. Thomas Jefferson had four main goals for the Expedition: find a water route to the Pacific Ocean, meet with the Native Americans, study plants and animals, and keep a record of their journey. Through this program, we will get to handle replica equipment from the Expedition while learning how that equipment aided in the Expedition’s accomplishment of their goals.
This event has passed.
