Education Series Contributor Lewis and Clark Then and Now: Linking the Trail to America's Students FEATURED CONTENT
We invite you and your students to join the Nation as it commemorates the Bicentennial of the Corps of Discovery’s historic journey across America—to discover what it taught America then, how it changed America after, and what a retracing of that journey can teach America today. Participate in project webcasts, virtual field trips, and videoconferences covering a wide range of curriculum linked to the lessons and legacy of the original expedition. Compare places on the trail then to the trail today. Ask questions of content experts. Interact with re-enactors retracing the expedition. Tour our web site for learning activities, web resources, and national standards tied to each of our programs. Learn about Native American culture and contributions. Join the journey and bring learning to life!
