Lewis, Clark tribute set at Missouri fair

Sedalia, Mo. — Missouri State Fair goers will have the opportunity to see the Conservation Department’s tribute to Lewis and Clark.

During the Aug. 12-22 fair, the department’s pavilion will feature an authentic dugout like those used by the Corps of Discovery staffed by historians wearing period dress.

A diorama depicting a Corps of Discovery campsite — complete with replica tent, taxidermy mounts and plants — also will help fair visitors learn how Lewis and Clark’s men lived during their 28-month journey from St. Louis to the Pacific Ocean and back.
