Lewis and Clark Exhibit

 Mar. 1, 2008 - Nov. 30, 2008

Lewis and Clark: Remaking the American West 1808-1838, the exhibit takes a look at an aspect of the explorers', Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, lives not usually discussed: their role in bringing American policies, laws and commerce to St. Louis and the trans-Mississippi West, including the controversial removal of Indian tribes from their homelands. 

On display in the special exhibit gallery of the Museum of Westward Expansion, this exhibit of period artifacts, books and documents brings the world the explorers knew between 1808 and 1838 to life while charting the importance of St. Louis.
