The Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center is pleased to announce it has recently been awarded a grant from the Siouxland Community Foundation Junior League/Mildred Andersen. The Junior League/Mildred Anderson grant of $1,500 will be used specifically to pay for guest speakers and classroom supplies for each Percy’s Pals class. Percy’s Pals is the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center’s new program for elementary school students. Percy is our pelican mascot. His statue sits on the south side of our property and is made of recycled scrap metal and was created by artist, Dale Lewis who also created the Scraposaurs that graced our lawn last year.

Rediscovering Spirit Mound
Living in Vermillion SD in the late 70s and early 80s, I knew there was a place called Spirit Mound that was a little way out of town. However, I did not know why it had that name. I do not remember my teachers talking about the history of the place. When my family first moved there, the area was empty land. My brothers tell stories of sliding down the hill on old truck hoods. Mainly in later years we knew it as a farm lot. Mostly high school kids used the area as a spot to go drinking because it was out of town.
