North Dakota Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Opened in 1997, the North Dakota Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center was built outside of Washburn, North Dakota, 38 miles north of Bismarck, the state's capital. Overlooking the Missouri River, the center focuses on the Lewis & Clark Expedition, specifically the time the spent in the state. There are images on display by Karl Bodmer, a Swiss artist who traveled to North Dakota in 1833 with Prince Alexander Maximilian of Weid, Germany. Additional exhibits show fur trade and first farmers in North Dakota.
Just over 2 miles from the Interpretive Center is the reconstruction of Fort Mandan, the Corps of Discovery's wintering post from 1804-1805.
