When was the last time you belonged to a group that had its own fort?

lewis & clark fort mandan foundationWe cordially invite you to join up with America's most adventurous historical foundation - The Lewis & Clark Fort Mandan Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational corporation organized to promote, develop and maintain Fort Mandan, the North Dakota Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center, and other Lewis & Clark interpretive areas.

As curators, educators, translators and promoters, our mission is “Revealing Lewis & Clark's Fort Mandan Experience,” along with so much of what followed in their wake. This is something we do with great pride and enthusiasm. And this comes easily for us, as we've been entrusted with some of the most remarkable and historically significant artifacts and reconstructions of the Lewis & Clark era, as well as the very land upon which so many of their experiences took place. Still, we are in need of your help.

This is your chance to contribute to history. Memberships support the noble mission of the Foundation in helping to manage and enhance the facilities, as well as to extend its educational outreach throughout the region. First and foremost we believe Fort Mandan and the Center are places of learning, and it shows.

BECOME A MEMBER!
Membership funds help us to operate the Interpretive Center and Fort Mandan, grow and maintain the galleries, interactive displays and exhibits, hold symposiums and bring in visiting scholars. They also help us in supporting our educational programs filled with artifacts, recreations of artifacts, paintings and more.
