LEWIS & CLARK DISCOVERY BOXES
AVAILABLE THROUGH JUNE 2004!
Good News! Due to overwhelming response, the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers “Lewis and Clark Discovery Boxes” will
remain available for purchase through June 30, 2004. The boxes, developed
by the Corps of Engineers, are designed for interpretive staff to use
as educational tools for school and visitor center programs commemorating
the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial. Initially available to only the Corps
of Engineers, Army, and National Guard, nationwide interest from schools,
museums, and visitor centers prompted the vendor to make the boxes available
for an extended period of time.
The Lewis and Clark Discovery Boxes are educational trunks containing reproduction
artifacts, posters, books and other materials that focus on the Army story
of the Lewis and Clark expedition. The 42 items found in the box focus on the
7 Army values - duty, discipline, loyalty, personal courage, selfless
service, respect, honor and integrity. Each box contains replicas of the items
the Corps of Discovery had with them on their trip (15-star flag, sextant,
etc.) and representations of items they found on their journey (prickly pear
cactus, prairie dogs, beaver, etc.) Included in the box are related music CDs,
books, and VHS videos. The boxes also contain a User Guide and other resources
to help enhance and guide the development of interpretive and classroom programs.
The boxes are being assembled and distributed by Development Workshop
in Idaho Falls, ID, a nonprofit agency affiliated with the National Institute
of the Severely Handicapped (NISH). The items come assembled in a large
red cedar trunk. Boxes are priced at $1,763.24, which includes shipping.
