Potomac St
Harpers Ferry, WV 25425

The Meriwether Lewis replica boat, located at the Armory Grounds in Harper's Ferry National Historic Park, celebrates the historical journey of Lewis and Clark. Constructed in 1803, this replica of the collapsible boat reflects Lewis's innovative spirit and his efforts to prepare for the monumental cross-continental expedition.

During testing in the nearby Potomac River, the original boat, designed to be portable and waterproof, unfortunately did not perform as expected. Despite its failure, the boat's legacy endures, capturing the imagination of visitors intrigued by the adventurous spirit of early American exploration.
