WELCOME TO THE SACAJAWEA STATUE WEBSITE
WHAT:
A larger than life size bronze statue of the 17 year old Shoshone woman and her son, "Pomp." She was in Livingston with Captain Clark and the Corps of Discovery July 15, 1806.
Sacajawea is portrayed in statuary more than any other American woman. This is the only statue that shows her on horseback. This is the only statue that shows her child as an 18 month old instead of an infant
WHY:
This public art project provides us a unique opportunity to celebrate a moment from our past, one which can serve as an inspiration for our future as a community.
WHERE:
Sacajawea Park in Livingston, Montana,next to the Yellowstone River.
This beautiful statue is a gift to all the people of Livingston and Park County from the local GREAT BEND OF THE YELLOWSTONE LEWIS & CLARK HERITAGE COMMISSION. Many, many wonderful folks have contributed to making this dream a reality and the GREAT BEND thanks them all!
