Lewis and ClarkTrail - Let the Journey Begin!-
It was in Saint Charles in 1804 that William Clark and Meriwether Lewis departed up the Missouri River seeking the route to the Pacific Ocean by order of president Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson had recently bought the area known as the Louisiana Purchase from the French and was eager to send these brave adventurers on their journey. Lewis and Clark’s presence in the region will forever be linked with Saint Charles. And the city takes great pride in preserving its history with annual reenactment events commemorating the challenging mission. Visitors can see their historic launching site and other key areas in and around Saint Charles.
