Learn about the history of Lewis and Clark and the former Monticello Women’s Seminary and discover how Lewis and Clark Community College is working to preserve the beauty of the original limestone buildings and copper patina accents. Explore the lily pond, fountains and gardens designed to inspire students and be environmentally friendly.
