&

Trail
The center is located 3 miles west of The Dalles on US HWY 30. The Wasco County Historical Museum shares the building. The Lewis & Clark exhibits cover highlights of the entire journey. Left, army uniform; left center, typical army tent; right center, lead canisters of gun powder. Lewis designed these to match the 4 lbs. of powder with the number of shot with the 4 lbs. of lead when it was melted and molded. Right, army muskets. Most of these items were worn out or used up by the time the Corps reached The Dalles.
