Atchison County Historic Site

Near this site the Atchison Town Company was formed in early July of 1854 under a large Cottonwood tree on the river.

The Lewis and Clark expedition rested and dined on corn July 4, 1804 near this same spot.

This new Cottonwood tree dedicated June 19, 2004 to the future citizens of Atchison to rest and remember these events in its shade
