Annual programs at Lewis & Clark State Historic Site, including Education Day, Point of Departure Celebration, Arrival Event, and Junior Explorer Camp, help visitors experience the history and context of the Lewis & Clark Expedition. The Lewis & Clark State Historic Site is administered by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources – Historic Preservation Division.
