Discover the Sacajawea Interpretive, Cultural, and Educational Center!

Located in Salmon, Idaho, this center honors Sacajawea, the Lemhi Shoshone woman who played a vital role in the Lewis and Clark Expedition. It explores her legacy, the expedition’s journey, and the culture of the Agai’dika Shoshone-Bannock Tribes.
In 1805, this area featured open meadows, dense forests, and the winding Salmon River—landscapes that remain largely untouched today. Visitors can walk the same terrain Sacajawea once knew.

Fun fact: The center sits on 71 acres with trails, exhibits, and artifacts showcasing indigenous heritage. The park preserves traditional Shoshone beadwork, crafts, and historical insights into the expedition’s impact.

Activities include interactive exhibits, interpretive trails, and cultural demonstrations. Special events and educational programs run throughout the year.
Seasonal Hours: The Interpretive Center is currently closed for the season, but appointments can be made by calling 208-756-1188. The park and trails remain open year-round for visitors.

Whether you're a history enthusiast or a nature lover, the Sacajawea Center offers an unforgettable experience! Have you visited? Share your thoughts below!

Site of the Week: Travelers’ Rest

Step Into History at Travelers’ Rest State Park!

Located in western Montana, Travelers’ Rest State Park is the only confirmed campsite of the Lewis and Clark Expedition with physical evidence. The Corps of Discovery stopped here twice—first in September 1805 before crossing the Bitterroot Mountains and again in June 1806 on their return journey. Archaeologists have uncovered fire pits and traces of mercury from the expedition’s medical supplies, confirming this as a key location on their route.

During Lewis and Clark’s time, the area was an important meeting place for Indigenous tribes, with open meadows, dense forests, and the nearby Lolo Creek providing fresh water and resources. Today, the landscape remains much the same, offering visitors a glimpse into the past.
Fun fact: During the summer of 2002, archaeologists unearthed a trench latrine containing traces of mercury, fire hearths, and remnants of lead used for firearm maintenance and production. This discovery established Travelers’ Rest as the only known campsite along the Lewis and Clark Trail with physical proof of the expedition’s stay.

Visitors can explore a museum, hiking trails, and interpretive programs, where they can learn about the expedition and the Native peoples who shaped this region’s history. If you love history and nature, Travelers’ Rest is a must-visit!

Discover History at the Nez Perce National Histori

Discover History at the Nez Perce National Historical Park Visitor Center!

The Nez Perce National Historical Park Visitor Center in Idaho offers a deep look into the history and culture of the Nimiipuu (Nez Perce) people, who played a crucial role in the Lewis and Clark Expedition. In 1805, after a grueling journey through the Bitterroot Mountains, the Corps of Discovery arrived in Nez Perce territory, starving and exhausted. The Nez Perce provided food, shelter, and guidance, helping Lewis and Clark continue their journey westward.

Back then, the area was home to vast prairies, towering pine forests, and winding rivers—landscapes that remain largely unchanged today. The visitor center, set against this breathtaking scenery, offers exhibits, artifacts, and stories that highlight the Nez Perce’s enduring legacy.

Fun fact: The Nez Perce not only aided Lewis and Clark but also introduced them to their expertly crafted Appaloosa horses, known for their speed and endurance.
Visitors can explore museum exhibits, watch cultural demonstrations, and walk interpretive trails. Nearby, the Lolo Trail offers a chance to experience part of the same route Lewis and Clark traveled.

For history lovers and outdoor adventurers alike, the Nez Perce National Historical Park is a must-visit!
