The three story, 12,000 square foot,
Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center sits on a scenic
79 acre wooded bluff overlooking the Missouri River.
This unobstructed view of the river gives today's
audience a sense for what greeted the captains
200 years ago.
Education through discovery and
observation is the central mission of this interactive
center. It involves and
showcases the University of Nebraska, with UNL's
distinguished professor Dr. Gary Moulton, the definitive
scholar on the Lewis & Clark Journals, who served as
the Center's first In-Resident Scholar. The flora
and fauna and scientific discoveries recorded by the
Lewis & Clark expedition are the focus of the Center. This theme is
exciting and unique because no other museum or
interpretive center in the nation, existing or planned,
focuses on the captains' amazing scientific discoveries.
People of all ages will learn through interactive
participation and you-are-there experiences. |
