Think You Know Lewis and Clark?

In 2004, the United States is observing the Bicentennial of the Corps of Discovery’s journey led by Captains Meriwether Lewis and William Clark. The Corps traveled the Missouri River between Iowa and Nebraska in 1804 and, again, in 1806.

You’ve read about the Lewis and Clark journey, now you can do the things they did. Get your "Passport" to learn the Lewis and Clark story through interactive sessions at nine locations along the Missouri River in Iowa and Nebraska – June 14, 2004 to August 13, 2004. See map for locations.

This unique Passport entitles you to participate in 15 passport events being held in honor of this bicentennial in communities near the Missouri River in Iowa and Nebraska. Events have been scheduled to allow travel time between sessions so you will have several opportunities to learn and experience more about the journey of Lewis and Clark and the Corps of Discovery.

Your Passport is intended to provide you with a keepsake of your journey and is valid June 14- August 13, 2004.

This sampling of "Passport" activities is for people of all ages and is offered free to the public. A commemorative "Passport" booklet stamped at the locations you visit, will be available for $5.00. For a complete schedule and detailed map call 712-482-3029.

The sites participating in the Lewis & Clark Passport program include locations at Brownville, NE; Fremont County, IA; Glenwood, IA; Bellevue, NE; Council Bluffs, IA; Missouri Valley, IA; Onawa, IA; and Sioux City, IA. Each of these locations will have a different type of activity in which to participate.
