Lewis and Clark Trail Inventory: Nebraska and Iowa
Signs, Statues, and Markers
By Kristopher K. TownsendUS National Park Service (LCNHT)
This page is an inventory of sites commemorating the Lewis and Clark journey in the present states of Nebraska and Iowa. In mid-July 1804, the Lewis and Clark Expedition camped near Nemaha, Nebraska. They continued up the Missouri River along the Nebraska-Iowa border and then the South Dakota-Nebraska border. They returned on their way home in the summer of 1806.
In 2009, Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail of the U.S. National Park Service conducted an inventory of Lewis and Clark-related interpretive panels, signs, markers, and some statuary. The results of that survey have been compiled into a database and presented here by Kris Townsend. For other regions, see Lewis and Clark Trail Inventory. If you have more current photos and new sites to include, please contact editor@trailresearch.org and we will update this inventory.
