WASHBURN. No doubt history buffs will want to make the trip to this interpretative center, where the exhibits and displays focus on the quest of two of the greatest explorers in American history: Meriwether Lewis and William Clark. Interactive exhibits, a gift shop, and terrific views of the Missouri River – all can be found here. Meanwhile, Fort Mandan, located a couple of miles west of the Interpretative Center off Highway 83, is a reconstruction of the timber cabins that the Lewis and Clark Expedition built to stay in during the winter of 1804-05. Visitors to the fort, which is surrounded by an 18-foot-high wooden palisade, will find that it has been carefully designed to look as much like the original as possible, even down to the personal effects that are on display in the cabins.
