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 and Washington. 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.

Located in downtown Washougal two minutes from the Columbia River, we are one mile west of the famous Lewis and Clark provisional campsite where the Corp of Discovery fished and hunted to ensure they had food for their journey eastward.

Also nearby is the historic Parkersville Landing. This site marks the beginning of the region’s commercial activity and access through river trade to Vancouver WA and Portland OR. Washougal became the settlement foundation for East Clark County, Washington in the 1850s.

Two Rivers Heritage Museum is operated by the Camas-Washougal Historical Society and focuses on the history and heritage of the communities of Camas and Washougal. Artifacts include an extensive Nation American basket collection from the area. We also have information about Lewis and Clark and the 2003 reenactment journey and their stop in Washougal. We look forward to sharing our history with you.
