At the Confluence of the Missouri and the Yellowstone

Is this beautiful interpretive center that you could spend hours in. Plenty to hold your interest no matter what your interests. Went to the gift shop and couldn't resist buying this darling little pottery jar made of scoria (underground burnt coal) and clay made by Sue Davy. Capt. William Clark wrote about collecting earth along the Missouri River, putting it in a furnace and hardening it to a glaze.

Also succumbed to an intricate covered round wood box made up of what looks like at least four different woods. It is rather delicate and strong at the same time and the cover has a star design with a little knob. It was made by Melvin Sorstokke (I could have the name wrong, the fired brand on the bottom fades off). It reminds me of an Indian drum.
