Clark on the Yellowstone Signature Event |
Clark on the Yellowstone Signature Event enables modern day explorers to rediscover Captain William Clark's travels along the Yellowstone River. This event commemorates the 200th anniversary of Clark inscribing his name on Pompeys Pillar - the only remaining physical evidence of the Lewis & Clark Expedition appearing on the trail as it did 200 years ago. Clark, showing his affection for Sacagawea's young son, whom he called 'Pomp', named this sandstone pillar at the river's edge in his honor. A National Day of Honor commemorating this event, and recognizing the historic use of the Pillar by American Indians is set for July 25, 2006. A new interpretive center will greet visitors at the recently created Pompeys Pillar National Monument, administered by the Bureau of Land Management. Canoe landings, trail rides, wildlife displays and exhibits at local museums in nearby Billings, Montana will engage people of all ages.
Directions: Clark on the Yellowstone Signature Event will be held at Pompeys Pillar National Monument.
