G – History

Wilmington (Arsht Hall) | October 14, 2025-November 11, 2025

Tuesday: 9:00 AM-10:15 AM

This is a hybrid course. One section meets on site at the location listed; and one section meets online only.

Using lecture, PowerPoint and the Ken Burns film “Lewis and Clark: The Journey of the Corps of Discovery” we look in depth at the epic journey that was the Lewis and Clark expedition. We discuss the reason for the Louisiana Purchase, the hardships the expedition endured, the incredible land that was explored, and what happened to these men afterwards. We also look in depth at Sacajawea, the incredible teenager without whom the Voyage of Discovery would have failed.

This offering meets for a total of 5 session(s).
