Lewis and Clark Expedition

 Ranger Crystal brought clothing, pelts, tracks, plants, instruments, and other things that taught us about the Lewis and Clark Expedition with the Corps of Discovery.  Here you see Emily getting sworn into the army after donning an army outfit from around 1804.
Jordan tries out the sextant, a tool used for navigation and surveying.
