Step back in time at the reconstructed Fort Mandan, a fully furnished, full-size replica of the fort in which the Lewis and Clark Expedition overwintered in 1804-1805. Their time here was characterized by the hospitality of the Mandan and Hidatsa peoples. In fact, this is where they met and built friendships with important figures such as Sacagawea, Toussaint Charbonneau, and Sheheke. Exhibits in the Fort Mandan Visitor Center chronicle the winter stay of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, also known as the Corps of Discovery, in greater depth, while a children’s play area allows young visitors to discover history with costumes, camp supplies, and more. The museum store offers a great selection of souvenirs, beverages, and snacks.

The Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center stands at the crossroads of culture and commerce on the northern Plains. When Meriwether Lewis and William Clark arrived at the Mandan and Hidatsa villages in 1804, they became the most famous of many people who visited in search of knowledge and trade. Today you can experience engaging exhibits, hundreds of period artifacts, world-class art collections, and friendly interpreters who tell the story of the Lewis and Clark Expedition like never before. Two galleries feature rotating art and history exhibits, with a special emphasis on the cultural and artistic heritage of the northern Plains.
