North Dakota Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center
- North Dakota Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center
-
The North Dakota Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center opened in 1997 outside of Washburn, North Dakota (38 miles north of Bismarck, North Dakota's capital). Overlooking the Missouri River, the center focuses on the Lewis and Clark Expedition, specifically the time they spent in the area that would eventually become the state of North Dakota. There are images on display by Karl Bodmer, a Swiss artist who traveled to North Dakota in 1833 with Prince Alexander Maximilian of Weid, Germany. Additional exhibits showcase the state's fur trade history and early agriculture.
Just over two miles from the Interpretive Center, Fort Mandan has been reconstructed. It was the Corps of Discovery's wintering post from 1804-1805.
