LEWIS AND CLARK in ILLINOIS
In the fall of 1803, Captain Meriwether Lewis and William Clark passed this place with about twenty men on their way westward. At the confluence of the Wabash and Ohio Rivers, they first reached territory that is now the State of Illinois. They then turned their boats south on the Ohio toward Fort Massac.
Erected in 2003 by the State of Illinois; Illinois Lewis and Clark Bicentennial Commission.
