Retracing The Lewis & Clark Journey
November 14, 2005
In 1803, a team of men led by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark set out from Pennsylvania to seek the western edge of the continent.

Lewis And Clark Exhibit Opening At Oregon Historical Society
Those wanting to celebrate the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial on the coast this weekend got a dose of the cold windy rain that the explorers complained of 200 years ago.

Before opening the doors to the public this weekend, the Historical Society gave reporters -- including OPB's Colin Fogarty -- a sneak preview.
