The Bridge Over 4th of July 1804 Creek
This stream was named by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark when they stopped at the present site of Atchison, Kansas on July 4, 1804. The following is an excerpt from Clark's logbook:
"...as this creek has no name, and this being the 4th of July, the day of the Independence of the U.S., call it 4th of July 1804 Creek..." - William Clark
Dedicated July 4, 1996
Marker is on Skyway Highway (U.S. 59) near 10th Street (U.S. 73), on the right when traveling west.
