Tripadvisor honors Museum with 2023 Travelers’ Choice Award
Great Traveler Reviews Earn it a Place Among Travelers’ Favorites
The Lewis & Clark Boat House and Museum has been recognized by Tripadvisor as a 2023 Travelers’ Choice award winner for Specialty Museums. The coveted award celebrates businesses that have consistently received great traveler reviews on Tripadvisor over the last 12 months, placing these winners among the top 10 percent of all listings on Tripadvisor globally.
“This year marks our museum’s 20th Anniversary on the banks of the Missouri River, and we couldn’t think of a better present than this recognition from our visitors and a leading travel site,” said Executive Director Robert Foster. “Our staff of educators and history buffs are passionate about sharing American history. We aim to ensure every one of our 25,000 guests has a memorable, enriching experience.”
The Lewis and Clark Boat House and Museum brings the remarkable journey of 1803-06 to life at a riverfront base of operations in historic St. Charles, Missouri. The organization shares the story of the Lewis & Clark Expedition at destinations throughout the Midwest via a unique traveling fleet of replica boats and an experienced corps of re-enactors, the Discovery Expedition of St. Charles.
The museum is an official stop on the Lewis & Clark National Historic Trail, part of the Historic District of St. Charles, MO, and is housed alongside the Katy Trail State Park. A close-up look at full-size replicas of the boats used by Lewis & Clark and films about the expedition encourage visitors to imagine the hardships and experiences of the expedition.
More than 200 school groups visit the museum annually, and the museum has played host to weddings, corporate team-building events, convention groups and much more.
“Congratulations to the 2023 Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice winners,” said John Boris, Chief Growth Officer at Tripadvisor. “The travel resurgence we’ve seen throughout the past year has even further heightened the competition. Earning a Travelers’ Choice Award demonstrates that you have provided great experiences to those who matter most: your guests. With changing expectations, continued labor shortages, and rising costs, this is no easy feat, and I am continually impressed with the hospitality industry’s resilience and ability to adapt. Cheers to another successful year!”
