Sacajawea's Grave Site

The Sacajawea Cemetery is the official grave site of Sacajawea, the young Shoshone Indian who helped lead Lewis and Clark's expedition to the Pacific Ocean. There is also a monument to her at the rear of the campground. You will find her gravestone midway down the cemetery, along with those of her son Baptistte and her adopted son Brazil.

Also on the grounds of the cemetery is a small log building which was the first school for Indians, built in 1878.
