Corps of Discovery II - Fort Atkinson #1, Nebraska - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

Corps of Discovery II – Fort Atkinson #1 is a twelve-inch Lewis and Clark commemorative survey disk on the grounds of Fort Atkinson State Park, Fort Calhoun, Washington County, Nebraska. The disk is stamped with the logo of the Corps of Discovery II series of Lewis and Clark commemorative disks, and was dedicated on July 31, 2004, as part of the “First Tribal Council” national signature event. The disk is mounted in a concrete pad that is an extension of a concrete sidewalk and is flush with the sidewalk. The disk is about three feet north of the centerline of the north “lane” of the two-lane sidewalk that leads to the “First Council” sculpture display site. The disk does not have any other identifying stamping other than the standard design elements of the commemorative series of disks: CORPS OF DISCOVERY II – 200 YEARS TO THE FUTURE – PEACE AND FRIENDSHIP.
