March 7 at 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm
Free
On Saturday, March 7, 2026, come learn how Lewis and Clark found their way across the country without the aid of road signs or navigation apps. The class is held at 12:30pm for grades 5-8. Admission is free, but freewill donations encouraged.
Participants will learn some basics of compass usage, map reading, and about “dead reckoning,” a method of navigation relying on estimating one’s current track, groundspeed and position based on earlier known positions.
The Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center/Betty Strong Encounter Center was built and is sustained by the Missouri River Historic Development Organization as a gift of history to the community.
