Sacajawea Interpretive, Cultural & Educational Center

The Sacajawea Interpretive, Cultural & Educational Center stands in the Lemhi River Valley near Salmon, within the homeland associated with Sacajawea and the Agaidika Shoshone-Bannock people. Sacajawea, a Lemhi Shoshone woman, joined the Lewis and Clark Expedition as a teenager and traveled with the Corps of Discovery while carrying her infant son, Jean Baptiste Charbonneau. Her knowledge, presence, and family connections became important parts of the expedition's journey through the West.

The center interprets Sacajawea's story alongside the history and continuing presence of the Agaidika Shoshone-Bannock people rather than treating her only as a figure in the Lewis and Clark narrative. Exhibits address Sacajawea, the expedition, regional culture, and the natural environment. The center also hosts cultural and educational programming, including the annual Agai Deka Gathering.

Visitors can explore the interpretive center as well as walking trails across the surrounding park. The grounds include outdoor educational spaces, an amphitheater, gardens, and other features that connect the historical interpretation to the landscape of the Lemhi Valley. For travelers interested in the Lewis and Clark Expedition, Indigenous history, and Sacajawea's homeland, the center provides one of the region's most focused interpretive experiences.
