Lewis and Clark Expedition Started Today!

In 1804 Lewis and Clark started on an expedition from St. Louis to the Pacific Ocean. They traveled eight thousand miles by foot, boat, wagon and horse discovering parts of the West previously unknown to anyone but the native Americans. School age children will enjoy learning more about their adventures. Pretend you are going on your own grand discovery trip without the help of modern maps and communication. Think with the children about all the important things to pack. Go on a short discovery trip in the neighborhood and look for things you may have never noticed before.
