Sergeant Floyd Riverboat Museum and Welcome Center - Lewis and Clark Trail on Waymarking.com

On August 21, 1804 the Corps of Discovery passed by what is now Sioux City. Nearby is the grave of Sergeant Floyd, who died the day before. He was the only expedition member who died during the expedition. It is believed that appendicitis killed him.

The Sergeant Floyd Riverboat Museum, in Sioux City, Iowa, has a wonderful display and lots of information about the Lewis and Clark expedition. The museum is located inside the Motor Vessel “Sgt Floyd”. During this vessel’s operating period, it traveled the Missouri River section of the Lewis and Clark expedition as a survey and inspection vessel for the Army Corps of Engineers.

"Must Sees"at this location": The museum has a display and information about the "Expedition". There is also information about the history and use of the Missouri River through the years. I thought the vessel itself was the most interesting thing at this location. Date Waymark Created: 11/12/2006 Do they allow dogs at this location?: Yes, but must be on a leash.
