Lewis and Clark in Illinois


Meriwether Lewis, and William Clark, and about twenty men passed this place in the fall of 1803 on their famous journey westward. Cave-In-Rock, a natural landmark near here, was well known and noted on some early maps of this area. The party continued on to Fort Massac.


Erected in 2003 by the State of Illinois and the Illinois Lewis and Clark Bicentennial Commission.

Market St. & Canal St. (IL-1), Cave-in-Rock, Hardin County Illinois
