Lewis and Clark NHT Visitor Centers and Museums

This map shows a range of features associated with the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail, which commemorates the 1803-1806 Lewis and Clark Expedition. The trail spans a large portion of the North American continent, from the Ohio River in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to the mouth of the Columbia River in Oregon. The trail is comprised of the historic route of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, an auto tour route, high potential historic sites (shown in black), visitor centers (shown in orange), and pivotal places (shown in green). These features can be selected on the map to reveal additional information. Also shown is a base map displaying state boundaries, cities, rivers, and highways. The map conveys how a significant area of the North American continent was traversed by the Lewis and Clark Expedition and indicates the many places where visitors can learn about their journey and experience the landscape through which they traveled.

Fireman’s Park is so named in honor of our volunteer fire department and the park is along the river next door to the Fire Department. The city installed public docks a few years ago with a ramp leading to the dock system. There is a pavilion that is dedicated to one of the city leaders who worked to see the waterfront improved and better utilized, Mr. Bryan Wilson. It is a lovely green space nestled in historic downtown New Martinsville.
