Giant Lewis & Clark and Sacajawea Figures

In Keelboat Park, on the Missouri River just south of I-94, there are interesting interpretations of Lewis & Clark and Sacajawea, their trusty Indian guide. They are about 30 feet tall and brightly colored. Also nearby is a replica of an 1800s keelboat used by Lewis & Clark. [BS Meyer, 02/14/2013]
