Seaman’s Day at Fort Clatsop
Event Navigation
The 33 people of the Lewis and Clark Expedition wintered at Fort Clatsop in 1805-06. The 34th “member” of this expedition was Seaman, Captain Meriwether Lewis’ Newfoundland dog. The 23rd annual Seaman’s Day commemorating the dog of the Corps of Discovery will be held Wednesday, July 13, 2016, at Fort Clatsop in Lewis and Clark National Park.
According to the explorers’ journals, Seaman served as a watchdog, hunter, retriever, companion and diplomat during the two-and-a-half year voyage of discovery. The park has invited some guest Newfoundland dogs and their people to volunteer this day. This special event offers visitors an opportunity to learn about Seaman and to meet some modern Newfoundland dogs.
The day will include a trail walk, dog-themed crafts, a lecture about Seaman, and a meet-and-greet with Newfoundland dogs. Admission to the park is $5 for adults, and free to kids 15 years old and younger. Passes to National Park Service sites are accepted.
