Today we headed over to the Lewis & Clark Interpretative Center near Washburn, North Dakota.
According to Wikipeida "the Lewis and Clark Expedition. It focuses on the winter of 1804–1805, which they spent at Fort Mandan, a post they built near a Mandan village. The center was opened in 1997 and overlooks the Missouri River on the outskirts of Washburn, North Dakota. The center opened in 1997. It is located about two miles from the reconstructed Fort Mandan.
The center also interprets other aspects of North Dakota history, including the farming-based cultures of the Mandan and Hidatsa Native American nations, the fur trade at Fort Clark Trading Post State Historic Site, the 1830s expedition by Prince Maximilian of Wied-Neuwied through the area, and the later development of agriculture in the state."
The Interpretative Center was very interesting and had wonderful exhibits and artwork.
We signed up for a tour of the reconstructed Fort Mandan and when our Guide arrived, we left the museum and headed over there with several other people.
