Explore an 1804 living-history camp replicating the Lewis and Clark expedition’s stay in present-day Sioux City at the annual Sergeant Floyd Memorial Encampment. 

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 will interact with visitors to bring the history of the encampment to life.

The long-time historical re-enactors are with the Omaha-based Discovery Corps, Inc. and the local Sergeant Floyd Honor Guard.

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