Missouri-Yellowstone Confluence Interpretive Center, History museum at Missouri-Yellowstone rivers confluence near Williston, United States.
The Missouri-Yellowstone Confluence Interpretive Center is a history museum located where two major American rivers meet near Williston. Its approximately 2,000-square-foot exhibition space presents displays about regional transportation development and the area's natural resources.
The center documents the 1805 Lewis and Clark expedition, which traveled through this area and mapped the confluence of two major rivers. This journey marked a crucial milestone in exploring North American waterways.
The rotunda displays three large murals that incorporate journal entries and paintings by Colonel Philippe Régis de Trobriand from the 1860s frontier period. These artistic works convey impressions of life in the distant regions of that era.
The best time to visit is during the warmer months when the center operates daily with extended hours. Winter visits are possible but with reduced opening times, so plan ahead if traveling during that season.
A distinctive feature is the visibility of the exact point where the Missouri and Yellowstone Rivers meet from the center. Visitors can observe this natural phenomenon directly and watch where the two rivers flow together.
