Celebration of the Bicentennial of the Lewis and Clark Corps of Discovery

As part of the Salt Festival, Boone County celebrated the Bicentennial Celebration of the Lewis and Clark Corps of Discovery. The corps docked their flatboat and pirogue and made camp at Big Bone Landing for the week. The Friends of Big Bone worked with several local organizations planning activities for the celebration, making the history of the Corps of Discovery come alive in Boone County. The Big Bone Lick State Park was just one of four official Lewis & Clark Trail Sites east of the Mississippi.
