Meriwether Lewis and William Clark of the Corps of Discovery stayed at Camp River Dubois during the winter of 1803-1804, on their journey to find an all-water-route to the Pacific Ocean. For five months, the Corps stayed near the confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers, training and preparing for the long journey ahead. On May 14, 1804 the expedition traveled up the Missouri River during their journey to the Pacific Ocean.This area has seen many changes since 1804. Imagine how it looked then the Corps of Discovery left on that rainy May afternoon.
