This statue depicts Meriwether Lewis & William Clark (and Seaman, Lewis' Newfoundland dog). Located in St. Charles' Frontier Park, the statue is 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
