Livingston, Montana: Lewis and Clark historian Norm Miller presents “In the Wake of Discovery: Traveling the Lewis and Clark Trail by
Canoe and Foot” on Wednesday, April 11, 7:00 pm. at the Yellowstone Gateway Museum. Doors open at 6:00 pm; seating is limited. This is the final program in the museum’s A Moving History speaker series.
Through images and narration, Miller reflects on a journey that he made in the wake of Lewis and Clark and the Corps of Discovery during the bicentennial in 2004. He paddled up the Missouri River, hiked overland across the Rockies and paddled to the Pacific Ocean. Norm will talk about the similarities that Lewis and Clark experienced as well as the 200 years of change along the longest river system in the country.
Miller grew up in Northern Michigan and is a graduate of Lake Superior State University in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. He moved to Yellowstone to work in 1984 and has lived in the Rocky Mountain Region ever since.
