Join author, speaker, and adventurer Dr. Larry Campbell as he brings to life his seven-week journey along the entire Missouri River—from its source in Three Forks, Montana, to its confluence with the Mississippi near St. Louis. Through maps, photos, and interactive discussion, participants will follow the river’s 2,341-mile path, discovering its changing landscapes, cultures, and communities.

The session blends geography, history, and environmental insight, offering a broad look at how the river has shaped the American story— from Lewis and Clark’s expedition to the present day.

This engaging class offers far more than a travelogue. By participating, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the river’s ecological and cultural importance, learn practical tools for interpreting natural and historic landmarks, and see how exploration and curiosity connect us to place and time. Experience the wonders of the Missouri River and discover why Atchison, Kansas, stood out as the most memorable stop of the journey.

Lunch will be provided. Participants must register by 4/7 so lunch can be ordered.
