We drove to St Charles today and visited the Lewis & Clark Boathouse.
It houses the three replicas of the Corps' craft used in the re-enactment featured in the Ken Burns series.
The boats are downstairs.
There were many exhibits upstairs. There a series of dioramas portraying many of the most interesting events during the voyage which were spectacular in their artistry and detail.
We liked the statue of Sacajawea and Pompey
Doc liked the coyote
We had a great lunch at the Mother-In-Law House restaurant. It seems a man got engaged and built a beautiful house on Main Street in St Charles. After his wedding he learned it had been a package deal, and he would be living with his beautiful new bride AND her mother. So he had a partition put in down the middle of the house and invited her to use one side and the happy couple used the other, thus creating the first duplex ever built west of the Mississippi.
It was really a great day.
