Officially formed November 22, 1997, the
Washington State Chapter of the Lewis and Clark Trail Heritage
Foundation, Inc. now boasts 129 members. The Washington State
Chapter exists as a non-profit organization in the State of
Washington to stimulate public interest in matters relating to the
Lewis and Clark Expedition of 1803-1806. The Chapter is affiliated
with the
National Lewis and Clark Trail
Heritage Foundation, Inc. and
their activities are intended to complement and supplement those of
the
National Foundation. The Chapter will
seek out and identify Lewis and Clark Expedition related sites
and monitor the condition of interpretive facilities in its
geographic area. The Chapter will assist the National Foundation
in monitoring the condition of other interpretive facilities
along the trail. For information on joining the Washington State Chapter, please

President:
Jill Stephenson
Jill served as Vice President of
the Washington Chapter for two years before being elected
President in 2009. She has been a member of both the National
and Washington Chapters since 2004, adding Oregon Chapter
membership in 2008. As President, she hopes to encourage active
involvement from more of the current membership, to increase
membership in this Post-Bicentennial era and to help maintain an
up-to-date website.
A self-described Lewis and Clark
“groupie,” she is fascinated by the continuing pull of the story
of ordinary people doing extraordinary things. She loves
participating, as life allows, in LCTHF activities and field
trips. A life-long goal is to follow The Trail from start to
finish.
