Lewis and Clark in Illinois
In November 1803, Meriwether Lewis, William Clark, and their party passed by here on their way west. They camped across the river. Clark sketched the area, the local landmarks of Tower Rock and the Sugar Loaf, and their keelboat anchored near this shore.
[to the right of the marker, and across the river you can see Tower Rock, look close, its top is tree and brush covered.]
Erected in 2003 by the State of Illinois and the Illinois Lewis and Clark Bicentennial Commission.
Front St., Grand Tower, Jackson County Illinois
