The Rochejhone Chapter of the Lewis and Clark Trail Heritage Foundation has its headquarters in Billings and represents the surrounding area. The Chapter (which is known by the Indian name for the Yellowstone River) commemorates a number of significant events that took place in the area by Clark on his return trip on the Yellowstone River.
Three significant events are located near present-day Billings. Pompey's Tower visited by Clark on July 25, 1806 on which he carved his name and date. He named the landmark after Sacagawea's infant son whom he nick-named "Pomp." South of Park City, MT, is the location of the camp where Clark built dug-out canoes for his decent of the Yellowstone and Missouri. And south of Billings near the Blue Creek area is where he drove his horse heard across the Yellowstone.
