On December 12, 1803, the Lewis & Clark Expedition arrived at the confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers and fixed on a place to build Camp River Dubois. This Arrival Event - December 13 & 14 - marks this arrival with reenactors, demonstrators, and more!
The event will feature exhibitors of vintage tools, firearms, 18th-century medicine, military reenactors, and artillery. Come see how the soldiers of the Corps of Discovery lived during their winter encampment in the Illinois Country from 10 AM to 4 PM. The event is primarily inside the Interpretive Center.
St. Nicholas will also make an appearance for pictures and maybe a treat each day. Come learn about Christmas traditions in early 19th-century America.
