I had the honor of visiting William Clark's gravesite on the 198th anniversary of his death. The gravesite is impressive with engravings about the Corps of Discovery and Clark's life post his travels west. Clark family members are also buried at this site.
Very interesting and impressive gravesite. Be sure to get a guide booklet at the entrance to help you find your way, you will need the map. Drive slow and look for the small road sign names at intersections to find your way. His family along with himself are here.
Historic cemetery with lots of great stones. Get a guide from the office, and good luck finding your way on the maze of small roads! Clark's grave is near the very back corner, and was quite a journey to get to -- maybe 20 minutes there, and another 20 minutes back out. If you like grand old cemeteries, you could probably spend an entire day here. Check the website for operating hours.
