The Lewis & Clark Discovery Expedition of St. Charles, Missouri

The Lewis & Clark Discovery Expedition of St. Charles, Missouri consists of more than 200 re-enactors teaching heritage through living history. Whether buckskins or uniforms, the Corps’ clothing accurately recreates the dress of 1804. Their weapons are firelocks. They cook over campfires. They sleep under canvas. They know their history, and they teach.

Lewis & Clark come to life at Expedition re-enactments, festivals, community events, organizational meetings, school fairs and private events. Visitors come to the riverbanks to inspect the boats, experience the period campsites, and enjoy demonstrations of technology and events described in the Journals over 200 years ago. They have fun and they learn. Interested in having re-enactors at your community or school event? Drop a note to director@lewisandclarkboathouse.org.

We are the only living history group who has handcrafted replica boats for the longest re-enactment journey ever attempted. Not only did the Keelboat, pirogues and Lewis & Clark Discovery Expedition of St. Charles, Missouri recreate the original Lewis & Clark Expedition during the 2003-2006 Bicentennial, but continue to traverse the Missouri, Ohio and Mississippi Rivers making appearances throughout the year.
