Had the pleasure of visiting the "Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center" in Great Falls Montana last week. History is normally not one of my interests, BUT this adventure was different!
I had an afternoon to kill while waiting for hubby to get off work. I had heard many good reports about this place, including from my husband who is a history lover especially when it comes to anything about "Lewis & Clark".
I enjoyed the overlooks and the pedestrian trail to "Giant Springs Heritage State Park". The Missouri was so calm and tranquil, I was amazed how still it felt with five sets of falls. The snow has melted and the native plants and grasses were still looking dormant, but soon the area will be green and full of life.
The center a "state of the art" facility, beautifully done, with a self guided tour walking you through the entire journey of the expedition. The theater showed movies every hour with historical talks given by the volunteers. I was amazed how taken in I was, I felt like I was re-living the journey with Lewis & Clark.
I was there 4 hours, had to leave because they closed at 5 pm only to drive across the river to pick up hubby to enjoy the scenic drive home to Philipsburg. This is a must see if your ever in the area.
