TREASURES
OF THE STEAMBOAT ARABIA
|
Unbelievable treasures and fascinating
history await. Explore our museum and learn how the handsome steamer
Arabia prospered on the rivers, perished in 1856 and was finally
rediscovered 132 years later, precious cargo intact. This exhibit, in
Kansas City, Mo, is many things: history, ingenuity, tragedy, adventure,
perseverance, preservation and a tribute to the pioneer spirit. |
| Lewis
and Clark Exploratory Center |
The
Lewis and Clark Exploratory Center of Virginia will celebrate the legacy
of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, and especially the Virginia
contribution. This includes the roles of Thomas Jefferson and Meriwether
Lewis, who planned the expedition; Meriwether Lewis and William Clark who
led the Corps of Discovery; and James Monroe, who negotiated the Louisiana
Purchase, thus making the western territory part of the America that Lewis
and Clark explored. |
Jefferson's role in the
Lewis
and Clark Expedition.
|
On
January 18, 1803, President Thomas Jefferson sent a confidential
message to the Congress of the United States of America, requesting
$2,500 "for the purpose of extending the external commerce of the
U.S." Though modestly phrased, the letter marked the fulfillment of
Jefferson's long-held dream of Western exploration and launched one of the
great heroic adventures in American history -- the voyage of Lewis and
Clark and the Corps of Discovery. |
