The Lewis and Clark Discovery Expedition will land at the Remington Nature Center September 7.  The two replica Pirogues are large boats, one 41 feet long, the other 39 feet.  They’ll be featured at a free Open Camp where the public can learn about uniforms and weapons, fire-marking, rope-making, 1804 medicine, and the boats themselves.  Re-enactors will demonstrate what life on the river was like during the Lewis and Clark Expedition.

The Open Camp will be held from 9 am to 2 pm September 8.  The boats will leave Saint Joseph the next morning.  For more information about the Expedition click here.
