In May, 1804, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark set out on an amazing expedition across the
Louisiana Territory. It has been nearly 200 years since then, and the bicentennial of their historic
journey is rapidly approaching. These true American heroes faced unknown people, harsh conditions and
unexplored lands to secure a place in history as two of the world's greatest explorers. One of the expedition's
stops along the way was near present-day Yankton, South Dakota, and the Yankton Area Chamber of Commerce
along with the Yankton Daily Press and Dakotan has put together this site to celebrate Yankton's place
in history as well as sites along the rest of the Lewis and Clark Trail.
