Happy 250th birthday, Meriwether Lewis!

This weekend, the Meriwether Lewis Chapter of the Lewis and Clark Trail Heritage Foundation celebrated the 250th anniversary of Meriwether Lewis's birthday with their festive picnic at the Meriwether Lewis Monument in Lewis County, TN. It was a wonderful gathering, with members of the Lewis County Historical Society and other Lewis and Clark enthusiasts joining in the commemoration and fun. Attendees had a great time meeting the new Ranger at the park, soaking up the camaraderie, and enjoying delicious food together! And as with tradition, the group sang a hearty round of "Happy Birthday" to the memory of Meriwether Lewis! This annual event began in 2005 and still continues to honor our county's namesake.
