Mission Contact us at: Kansas Lewis & Clark Bicentennial Commission 1501 Arrowhead Drive Atchison, Kansas 66002 email: marketing@atchisonkansas.net On March 28, 2000, Governor Bill Graves established the Kansas Lewis & Clark Bicentennial Commission. He appointed 11 volunteer members to this organization and designated Karen Seaberg, Atchison, as chairman. The governor charged us to "review the travels of the Lewis and Clark expedition through Kansas and the role the expedition played in expanding the nation, and make recommendations on ways the State can pay tribute to Lewis and Clark and participate in the national Lewis and Clark Bicentennial Commemoration." Our Mission The mission of the Kansas Lewis & Clark Bicentennial Commission is to commemorate the journey of Lewis and Clark, rekindle its spirit of discovery, and acclaim the contributions and goodwill of and towards native peoples. One of our primary goals is to promote programs that focus on education, cultural sensitivity and harmony. We have worked closely with representatives from federal, state and tribal governments, state and local organizations and communities to integrate the Lewis and Clark story into existing programs or develop new programs that include the heritage of the Lewis and Clark expedition. All Commission members were involved in planning "A Journey Fourth," a bicentennial commemorative event on July 3-4, 2004, one of 15 Signature Events recognized by the National Council of the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial.
