  Commemorating the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial, 1805-2005

Step back in time to the great exploration that opened up the Pacific Northwest. Revisit the dreams of native peoples who first experienced this vast landscape. Listen to immigrants who came from distant places.

Celebrate Pacific Dreams as we commemorate the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial. "Captain William Clark" will join us in character and in costume. We'll also be treated to an interpretation of the exploration through the eyes of native peoples.

Western legislators, families and friends will have plenty of time to discuss current events as well. Sessions will focus on western water & environment, energy and public lands, fiscal affairs, transportation, agriculture, the urban-rural divide, anti-obesity initiatives and more. Take part in workshops on negotiations and on constituent service. Join the "Open Primaries" debate and participate in an ethics forum. 

At the end of the day, our Oregon legislative hosts will welcome you to the magnificent Pacific Northwest as seen through the eyes of the Lewis & Clark Expedition at the Oregon Historical Society Museum. For the grand finale, dance the night away in your best 1940's attire under the Spruce Goose at the Evergreen Aviation Museum.
