In this picturesque setting we provide a variety of opportunities to learn about the Corps of Discovery, the Agai Dika Shoshone, and local natural history. We are supported by many dedicated volunteers who work tirelessly to make the center the success that it is. With out their drive and vision the Center would not exist as it does today. Our partners also provide support and their presence can often be found on site: the Bureau of Land Management, the Salmon-Challis National Forest, Idaho Department of Parks & Recreation, Idaho Fish & Game, Shoshone-Bannock Tribes, Idaho Governor's Lewis & Clark Trails Committee, Salmon Valley Stewardship, Lemhi County Historical Society, Lemhi County Humane Society, Salmon Arts Council, Bureau of Reclamation, and the University of Idaho. In our interpretive center you can find the story of Sacajawea before and during her travels with Lewis and Clark. The interpretive center is open May - September and includes a book and gift store. (208)756-1222 (seasonal) Summer programing includes ancestral skills demonstrations and classes, day camps in July, interpretive talks, and Chokecherry Days in mid-August - a celebration of Native American and early West heritage. Our learning center is open year round and can be rented out to groups for anything from public speakers to meetings to educational training programs to wedding receptions. The Meriwether Theater is a 75 seat, re-purposed barn and a perfect venue for intimate talks and concerts.
