More than a museum
In addition to presenting the story of the Siouxland leg of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, the Center offers approximately 135 children’s classes and activities, 65 programs for adults and families, and 10 new, temporary exhibits per year, all free to the public. And our programming options are growing!
