We are a living, working museum. The Lewis and Clark Boat House and Museum brings the remarkable journey of 1803-06 to life at our riverfront base of operations in historic St. Charles, Missouri. And we share the story of the Expedition at destinations throughout the Midwest via our unique traveling fleet of replica boats and our experienced corps of re-enactors, the Discovery Expedition of St. Charles.

"We love Lewis and Clark and your museum. We followed the trail (as Californians during the lockdowns) and your museum was the highlight of our trip. I can see why now - it is well run from the top down. The displays were so interesting and the folks running it were knowledgeable and enthusiastic....Keep up the good work."
