the north dakota lewis & clark interpretive center印象

Wow! An unbelievable collection of art work & artifacts from the Lewis & Clark Expedition. Terrific setting overlooking the Missouri River. We worth the visit!
-
This was a good stop in combination with Fort Mandan and Knife River Indian Villages. Stopping here first will give a good introduction to Lewis and Clark and the time they spent in this area. From here, continue the two miles to Fort Mandan (a reconstruction of) where the Corps of Discovery spent the winter before setting out on their great exploration. It's not too far to drive to Knife River Indian Villages to see remains of earth lodges (and a reconstruction of a lodge) where Sacajawea lived when she met Lewis and Clark before joining their expedition.

The center and grounds are beautiful and well kept. The collection of artifacts is impressive and interesting. The gift shop had a good assortment of merchandise. The guides at both the Interpretive Center and Fort Mandan were very knowledgeable. Everyone there was friendly. You see both sites with one admission ticket, we enjoyed it and thought it was well worth a visit.

My wife and I were on our way from the Knife River Indian Village National Monument to our hotel in Bismarck when we saw this place on the highway map. Since the Interpretive Center was right on the interstate and it was mid-afternoon, we decided to stop. The Interpretive Center is really a combination museum/art gallery. We did pay an entry fee which included entrance into the center AND entry into the reconstructed fort just a few minutes down the road. Unfortunately, we arrive at 4pm…the museum and fort both closed at 5pm. We quickly looked at the Native American and Lewis and Clark exhibits in 30 minutes…could have spent at least another 30 minutes here. We left early so that we'd have 30 minutes at the fort. The fort was a reconstruction of the structure erected by the Corp of Discovery as they settled down for the 1st winter on the way to exploring the western US in the early 1800s. There were guides in the fort that did a great job of explaining how the fort was set up and what life was like between the native people and the expedition. We would have planned an earlier arrival time if we would have known how extensive the exhibits at the museum and fort were. A definite stop for anyone interested in native American or early American history.

We visited the Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center and Ft. Mandan. We have a newfoundland dog so it was of great interest to us as Lewis & Clark traveled with a Newfoundland Dog. The Interpretive Center has a very nice display to walk through.

The Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center provided a thorough and engaging exposition of the journey of the Corps of Discovery. My son and I read a children's book about the journey before coming to North Dakota. It was wonderful to see that brought to life at the center. The staff were also happy to answer our questions. This was well worth the trip to Washburn.

This was a very interesting and informative center to tell of brave people who shaped the future for the west.

We had stayed overnight in Washburn and were not even aware of this facility until the hotel manager mentioned it to us. This is a beautifully built facility just north of town that tells the story of the Lewis & Clark expedition from 1804-1806. For any student of early US history, this should be a stop on your travels through North Dakota.

Not just a roadside attraction, but one of the top museums in the country, will a world-class art collection, Lewis and Clark artifacts, amazing views of the Missouri River, gift shop, library, highly trained, knowledgable and helpful interpretive staff, and really two sites in one - for just a mile or so down the road is the actual Fort Mandan replica fort, with its own interpretive center and staff, right on the river's edge. If you are not already a Lewis and Clark admirer you will be by the time you leave here.

After following the Lewis and Clark Trail a few miles north of Washburn, I explored this center the next day. The interactive displays were accurate and enhanced my knowledge of this exploration. I was also privileged to talk to a L & C expert about.my thoughts, after my previous readings.A must destination if you appreciate American Exploration!
