This statue depicts
Meriwether Lewis & William Clark (and Seaman, Lewis’ Newfoundland dog).
The statue is located in St. Charles’ Frontier Park near the spot where the
famous Corps of Discovery began their trip on May 21, 1804 to explore the
Missouri River to the Pacific Ocean. Just behind the statue on the Missouri
River stands the Lewis & Clark Boathouse. The Boathouse is home to full-size
working replicas of the boats that Lewis & Clark used on their journey as
well as a museum dedicated to the expedition. It is open to the public.
