FORSYTH [Missouri]— An all-new exhibit is on display at the White River Valley Historical Society building in
downtown Forsyth.
“Lewis & Clark Across Missouri: Mapping the Historic Landscape” which is an exhibit of the Missouri State Archives, will be on display now through mid-December.
“This exhibit deals with the Lewis and Clark route across Missouri,” said Dawn Erickson, associate director of the White River Valley Historical Society and Museum. “They were quite the collectors and brought back so much information about the plants and animals they found on their journey.”
The exhibit chronicles the nearly three-year journey of Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, along with their crew of soldiers, trappers, French engagés and Clark’s slave, York, as they departed St. Louis in 1804.
…
There is no charge to visit the exhibit, which is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. and from noon-4 p.m. on Saturday. The White River Valley Historical Society building is on Main Street in downtown Forsyth, across from the new judicial facility. For additional information, call 417-546-2210.
