The Sgt. Floyd Monument was built to commemorate the life of Sgt. Charles Floyd, a United States explorer, a noncommissioned officer in the US Army, a quartermaster in the Lewis and Clark Expedition, and the only member of the Corps of Discovery to die on the expedition. The monument also marks his grave site. On June 30, 1960, the monument became the first designated National Historic Landmark of the United States.
