The Philadelphia Chapter of the Lewis and Clark Trail Heritage Foundation is dedicated to stimulating public interest in and advancing knowledge of the Expedition as it relates to the Philadelphia area. Members meet quarterly to share specialized interests and to learn about the historical, scientific, social, and cultural significance of the Expedition. The Chapter also conducts field trips to local points of interest related to the Expedition
The Chapter is part of the national organization - the Lewis and Clark Trail Heritage Foundation, Inc. - which convenes each summer, usually at a location along the Trail, to conduct business, hear guest speakers, and visit interesting sites. In 2003 the Annual Meeting will be held in Philadelphia, 200 years after Meriwether Lewis came to the city to study with the mentors Thomas Jefferson recommended and to gather supplies for the Expedition.
