William Clark's grave is marked with a 35-foot gray granite obelisk. Although his family had established endowments to maintain the site, by the late 20th century the grave site had fallen into disrepair. His descendants raised $100,000 to rehabilitate the obelisk, and celebrated the rededication with a ceremony May 21, 2004, on the bicentennial of the start of his famous expedition. Several members of the Clark family are buried in the area surrounding the obelisk.
