The Lewis and Clark Expedition arrived at Kaw Point on June 26, 1804. Kaw Point is where the Kansas River runs into the Missouri River. Due to changes in the rivers' locations, in 1804 Kaw Point was about 1/4 mile up the Missouri River from its current location. Lewis and Clark camped at the mouth of the Kansas River for three days. 

Kaw Point was damaged during the May floods and  WE NEED YOUR HELP! Volunteers of all ages and skill levels are needed to help rake and rebuild the trail, spread wood chips, rebuild the redoubt, line rocks, pull weeds, trim branches and weed the flower beds. The clean-up is scheduled for Saturday, July 14th from 9am to 3pm. Lunch is provided and volunteers are asked to please bring gloves and garden tools.
