Traveling Exhibits
http://www.lewisandclark.mo.gov/travexhibits.asp

Several agencies and organizations have developed traveling exhibits related to Lewis and Clark. The following exhibits may be reserved by contacting the appropriate agency. These exhibits range from historic maps to plants and animals found during the early 1800s.

"Footsteps West: Lewis and Clark's Corps of Discovery"
Missouri Historical Society, St. Louis
http://www.mohistory.org/HistoryToGo.html

Lewis saw what he saw. Clark heard what he heard. But what did everyone else get out of the great journey west? What did the Native Americans get out of the expedition? It wasn't the same thing at all. Join the "Corps of Volunteers for North-Western Discovery" and explore the valley of the Missouri to its headwaters and back to St. Louis. Which point of view will you adopt? The Corps'? The Native Americans? Or both?

"Footsteps West" is a History To Go! program, bringing the drama of history direct to schools through live actors and an engaging presentation followed by discussion. "Footsteps West" will be offered October 13 - June 15 of 2002 and 2003. The program is 45 minutes in length, and allows for a maximum audience of 350. The fee is $385 for the Metropolitan St. Louis area with availability throughout Missouri for an additional cost.

Lewis and Clark: The National Bicentennial Exhibition
At the Missouri Historical Society Museum
http://www.mohistory.org/content/Education/LandCedu.aspx

This Missouri Historical Society (MHS) site offers information about Lewis & Clark: The National Bicentennial Exhibition, which will be arriving and opening at the MHS Museum in January 2004. The exhibit will feature artifacts, maps and other items gathered from more than 50 institutions across the United States.

Also important to educators are upcoming curriculum materials that MHS is developing to supplement the national exhibition as well as Missouri’s own traveling exhibits.

Information is available here for educators interested in reserving one of two Lewis and Clark panel exhibits that will become available in fall 2003. Educators interested in History To Go performances can find booking information on this site as well.

"Corps of Discovery Adventures"
Second Chance Foundation

This entertaining, theatrical, and interactive half-hour assembly rests on portrayal of what might result if Sacagawea and a modern-day "valley girl" met to discuss their different experiences on the Lewis and Clark Trail. The conversation ends with a focus on the price modern conveniences have extracted from the environment. Two wacky scientists use items from an eco-trunk to aid the characters and student audience in learning ten habits friendly to the environment. The program is available August through December of 2003 for a fee of $500. Contact Laura Morris at (573) 635-1979.

"Lewis & Clark Docudrama with music"
Lewis and Clark Youth Players

Travel back in time to the days of Lewis and Clark, with some frustrated misplaced history students as they learn about the Corps of Discovery and the search for the Northwest Passage. Meet the men, woman, and dog whose incredible journey changed the course of history and the shape of our nation. The cast of characters includes Thomas Jefferson, Napoleon Bonaparte, Lewis, Clark, major members of the Corps, Native Americans met along the way, and Seaman the dog that serves as the mascot of the program, "speaking" to students through hidden microphones. Schools will receive two educational teaching packets to be used for further study post-performance. The program is 45 minutes in length and is available during the 2003-2004 school year for $200 fee. Recommended for student audiences grades 3-9.
