Watch for announcements on significant happenings in the Lewis and Clark world, not just within the Foundation family.  If you have information on discoveries, just-released publications or electronic media, noteworthy accomplishments by individuals, dedications of art installations, naming of streets or geographic features for members of the Corps of Discovery, deaths of persons who have made a difference in the Foundation, or other late-breaking news, we would like to hear about it.

Please email our coordinator of content at  web site admin.  Our coordinator will make the final decision on appropriateness and may make changes to your submittal ... but you will have a say in the final version.  Submission of photos (.jpeg format) is encouraged but please make sure persons are identified and have given permission for their image to be posted on the Internet.

Lewis and Clark time capsule

Gallatin Field's airport director, Brian Sprenger, covers a collection of items assembled by the Headwaters Chapter of the Lewis and Clark Trail Heritage Foundation that will be stored in the basement of the new airport until 2085.

Lewis and Clark Trust Established

Many of you devoted to Lewis and Clark may soon encounter a new national Lewis and Clark organization called the Lewis and Clark Trust, Inc., co-chaired by Jim Mallory and Stephenie Ambrose Tubbs.  To help facilitate understanding, the Board of the Lewis and Clark Trail Heritage Foundation assures our loyal members that we believe this new organization will serve a compatible role in accomplishing the mission of our long standing organization.  It is our understanding that the Trust will not be a membership-based organization but will focus upon fundraising efforts to introduce the Lewis and Clark story to new audiences.  How our respective organizations collaborate will become clearer over time as we learn more about the Trust’s intentions and objectives.

In the meantime, we want everyone to know that the Lewis and Clark Trail Heritage Foundation, founded in 1969, proceeds on in its proud tradition as the organization that helped create the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail in 1978. We re-dedicate ourselves to enhance the quality of our flagship journal We Proceeded On, provide support to our national membership and local chapters, render service along the transcontinental Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail, and work together with our private, state, federal, and tribal partners.  Thank you for your ongoing support.  We look forward to many more prosperous years sharing stories and adventures as we work together to preserve the Lewis and Clark story and trail for future generations.
