    About Independence Creek: Lewis & Clark Historic Site

    Where and When

    Open Sunrise to Sunset year round. Located 5 miles north of Atchison's Main Street, this site may be reached by car or by hiking/biking trail. The 13.5 acre site has reestablished the prairie as seen by the Corps of Discovery and encompasses a stretch of Independence Creek referred to by Captain William Clark in his July 4, 1804 journal entry. A pedestrian bridge completes  the 5-mile trail link to the Atchison Riverfront. A re-creation of a 1724-1804 era Kanza Indian Earthlodge  interprets the Kanza habitation of this location.

    Physical location:   19917 314th Road, Atchison, KS
