"ST. CHARLES, Mo. – St. Charles turned 250 years old this year and the city decided to celebrate with a trusty companion.

Starting April 1, statues of Merriweather Lewis and William Clark’s dog, Seaman, started popping up around the city.

"Historians believe Lewis bought Seaman for $20 in Pittsburg while he was waiting for the boats to be completed for their journey, according to the city’s website." ~ KSDK, Channel 5, by Kayla Gaffney, April 2, 2019
