William Clark died in 1838 at his son's home on this site.

Clark became a national hero more than 30 years earlier when he and Meriwether Lewis explored the newly acquired Louisiana Territory for President Jefferson.   Lewis and Clark led 31 people on an expedition from St. Louis to the Pacific Ocean and back.  They made the first map of the trans-Mississippi West, collected invaluable data, and established the American claim to Oregon, Washington and Idaho.

After his 28 month and 8,000 mile trek, Clark settled permanently in St. Louis and became one of the town's leading figures. ~ text of marker
