The Winter of 1803-1804 at Camp Du

Presented by Brad Winn will explore the winter spent at Camp Dubois and the men who would go on to form the Corps of Discovery.  The five months the expedition members spent in the Illinois Country would prove crucial to the subsequent success of the journey to the Western Ocean and back.  Learn about the troubles and lessons learned during Lewis and Clark’s Expedition’s first Winter Encampment.   Mr. Winn works for the Lewis and Clark Historic Site in Hartford and as an adjunct instructor at Lincoln Land and Lewis and Clark Community Colleges.
