Ziak will discuss his book, In Full View, written about the Corps of Discovery's month-long search for a winter camp at the mouth of the Columbia, and the flora and fauna they encountered along the way.
"As a nationally recognized authority on June and Clark's arrival at the Pacific, Rex is an engaging storyteller," said Colleen Schafroth, executive director of Maryhill Museum. "Copies of the book will be available for purchase, and he will be pleased to sign them."
At 3:30 p.m., Schafroth will lead a moderate 30-minute hike from the museum's overlook of the Columbia River to view several sites the Corps documented while in the area.
