Lewis and Clark Monument - Council Bluffs IA - Lewis and Clark Trail on Waymarking.com

One of the goals of the Lewis & Clark expedition was to seek out the native peoples and council with them. On July 28, 1804, the expedition passed this overlook area and noted that it was the first high land on that side of the river. On Aug 3, about 20 miles upstream, a Council was held with chiefs of the Oto and Missouri tribes. This council was the first major meeting between the Indians of the area and Lewis & Clark. As a result, this entire region has become known as "Councile Bluff."
In 1935, the Colonial Dames of America completed this monument commemorating Lewis & Clark's historic meeting.
