 Heritage Village

 

Heritage Village, sponsored by Jefferson Bank, presents the historical and natural heritage of our community, state, and country.  Heritage Village is located within the beautiful, new Lewis and Clark Trailhead Plaza, located at the corner of Capitol Avenue and Jefferson Street.  To visit this monument alone is an amazing treat.  Dedicated on June 4, the plaza includes bigger-than-life bronze statues of Captains Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, York (Clark’s man-servant), George Druillard (French-Canadian-Shawnee hunter and interpreter) and Seaman (Lewis’ Newfoundland dog).  Besides these main characters, items such as a journal, telescope, guns and hats are portrayed within the monument.  The sculpture commemorates the date of June 4, 1804 when the Corps of Discovery encamped in the area, which eventually became the state capitol.   

Self-guided tours will also be available of the Missouri State Capitol, Lohman Building, & Union Hotel/Rozier Gallery.
