Symbolically, visitors can begin their journey at the Lewis and Clark National Historic Park at Fort Clatsop near the mouth of Columbia River. The small log stockade has been re-created as it was when the Corps of Discovery built it and wintered there from December 7, 1805 to March 23, 1806. The National Park Service operates an Interpretive Center, Exhibit Hall and Gift Shop nearby. Go to: NPS.gov/places/Fort-Clatsop-OR.htm
