Lewis & Clark Trail

Astoria Oregon

Fort Clatsop

The Visitor Center includes displays illustrating local native ingenuity. During the winter months at Fort Clatsop, the Corps mainly depended on dried fish and elk meat for sustenance. Their Christmas meal - which should have included any special items they had - was somewhat skimpy. Clark: "our Diner concisted of Pore Elk...Some Spoiled pounded fish and a fiew roots."
