Lewis and Clark Trail Inventory: Kansas
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 state of Kansas. In late June 1805, the Lewis and Clark Expedition entered what is now Kansas camping at the confluence of the Kansas and Missouri rivers. From there, the Missouri River essentially forms the border between Kansas and Missouri and generally moving from north to south.
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.
