This is a very nice facility with a large theater/lecture area where we enjoyed a film about the Lewis & Clark expedition.
The self-guided tour of the exhibit area took about 45 minutes and we found it to be both interesting and educational.
Below is a container made from a bison heart. Very resourceful!
Cultivating tools made from antlers.
They encountered many different native-American tribes on their journey.
They moved upstream on the Missouri River with men pulling the boats against the current!
How many miles can you pull the boat today, Larry?
Wow...he can pull it for 6 miles!
When they arrived at the multiple water falls of the area, they had to portage the boats and their gear overland and up steep hills for 19 miles.
Larry tests the odor of the water they gave Sacagewea. He said there was no sulphur smell.
And their descendents are living here in droves!
Overall, a very nice place to visit.
