North Dakota Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The North Dakota Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center opened in 1997 outside of Washburn, North Dakota (38 miles north of Bismarck, North Dakota's capital). Overlooking the Missouri River, the center focuses on the Lewis and Clark Expedition, specifically the time the spent in the area that would eventually become the state of North Dakota. 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 showcase the state's fur trade history and early agriculture.

Just over two miles from the Interpretive Center is the reconstruction of Fort Mandan, the Corps of Discovery's wintering post from 1804-1805.
