A DECLARATION
A monument worthy of the men
who mapped a nation.
In an age of forgetting, we build. The Corps of Discovery crossed eight thousand miles of unknown country, from the confluence of the Missouri to the shores of the Pacific — a journey that redrew the map of a young Republic. Their courage deserves stone. Their memory deserves height.
Let us build it, together.
I.
Scale of Legend
Two statues, each 300 feet tall, hewn to rival the Argonath of myth — visible for miles down the river.
II.
Sacred Ground
Sited at the Gateway to the Mountains, the limestone cliffs Lewis himself named in July of 1805.
III.
By the People
Privately funded by patriotic Americans — no government appropriation, no committee, no delay.
THE PROPOSED SITE
Gateway to the Mountains
Helena, Montana — where the Missouri parts the great limestone walls.
