Meriwether Lewis and William Clark Sculpture
Meriwether Lewis and William Clark Sculpture, Bronze monument in Charlottesville, Virginia, United States.
The sculpture depicts explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark alongside Sacagawea, measuring over ten feet in height against a stone pedestal.
Charles Keck completed this bronze sculpture in 1919 as part of four commemorative pieces commissioned by philanthropist Paul Goodloe McIntire for the city.
The monument represents the culmination of the 1803-1806 expedition across the Louisiana Purchase, titled Their First View of the Pacific.
Located at coordinates 38.030556 latitude and -78.482778 longitude, the sculpture received National Register of Historic Places designation in May 1997.
In July 2021, the Charlottesville city council removed the sculpture following requests from descendants of Sacagawea regarding historical representation.
