Luckily this gem was saved from the flood. A wonderful depiction of life for Lewis and Clark as they passed through the area. Also changing films on different subjects. My favorite was on the Sioux City Stockyards in it's hey day. Also an ever changing art and photo display. One of my favorite places to take visitors. More
