Contrary to popular belief the Lewis and Clark journey did not begin in St. Louis. Before Lewis met up with Clark, he began the expedition on August 30, 1803 in Pittsburgh PA. â¦ Lt. William Clark would offer to join Lewis on the expedition weeks later on October 13, 1803 at Camp Dubois (in present-day Indiana).
One nice touch: outside the entrance, markers on a map of the Lewis and Clark route are moved with the passing days to show the location of the expedition westward in 1805 and eastward in 1806; journal entries from the same dates are posted alongside.
