News and Announcements
Come to the Santa Fe Depot Museum July 3, Friday evening at 7 PM for a special showing of the Lewis & Clark Film Series by the visiting Corps of Discovery crew.
The mission of the Lewis & Clark Discovery Expedition is to educate new audiences, especially the young, on the importance of the Lewis & Clark as the first naturalists and conservationists to journey west of the Mississippi and map new lands and rivers, discover new species of flora, fauna and wildlife; survive in an unknown wilderness through grit and teamwork, changing the history of our nation. Episodes filmed so far cover the journey’s beginnings, the handshake agreement between Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, the addition of “nine young men from Kentucky,” a shooting match, review of the existing maps, a charge of mutiny (and subsequent redemption), Sergeant Floyd’s death and burial and the election of Sgt. Patrick Gass to replace him.
