A quick drive across the historic 2nd Street bridge gets you to the site where Lewis and Clark started their famous expedition. It is home to the largest exposed Devonian fossil bed IN THE WORLD. Typically a free tour led by park rangers every Saturday. There is a historic cabin overlooking the Ohio River and hiking trails--a must for the history and science buffs.
