Explore an 1804 living-history camp replicating the Lewis and Clark expedition’s stay in present-day Sioux City on the grounds of the Sergeant Floyd River Museum & Welcome Center.

The grounds of the Sergeant Floyd River Museum and Welcome Center on the riverfront will showcase authentic tents, camp equipment, uniforms and firearms like those used during the expedition. Re-enactors from the local Sergeant Floyd Honor Guard will interact with visitors to bring the history of the encampment to life.

The Sergeant Floyd Burial Re-enactment Ceremony will be held at the Floyd Monument at 6 p.m. Re-enactors in full-dress uniform will re-create the burial of Sgt. Charles Floyd, the only member of the expedition to die during their journey.

The free events are sponsored by the Sioux City Public Museum and Sergeant Floyd River Museum and Welcome Center.
