My husband and I were in this small town yesterday. This was a must see for us, as several family members names are listed on this wall. It was a hot and humid day, but very much worth the stop to see it. Beautifully done by a local monument company, just a couple of blocks away.

A national treasure and architectural masterpiece. This one of the iconic treasures of America. Allow time to go to the top and explore the museum. It’s fun to walk around and see the monument from different angles - there are several awesome photo angles. This is real history. Parking is a challenge but it’s worth the effort. Go enjoy!

I am so pleased to see that York is included in this monument to the brave souls who undertook this expedition. The omission of Sacagawea is a serious oversight.The location of the monument overlooking the Missouri River is poignant.
