Beyond Lewis and Clark: The Army Explores the West is a national touring exhibit that will be on display at the Kansas Museum of History December 10, 2004 - August 14, 2005. The exhibit addresses the work of military explorers, 1804 - 1874, from Lewis and Clark to George Armstrong Custer. In 1804, the country ended at the Mississippi River, and the West was largely unknown to the people of the United States. Seventy years of exploring changed all that. The Army explorers provided the details to complete earlier maps on which the West was a mysterious blank. Their stories filled American minds with new ideas about the West. What they learned profoundly changed the nation.
A free, 16-page student guide for the exhibit will be available. You may request copies before your visit or pick up copies at the museum on the day of your visit. To request copies or for more information, contact Betty Seachord, Kansas State Historical Society, 6425 SW Sixth, Topeka, KS 66615, education@kshs.org or 785-272-8681, ext. 414.
