Meriwether Lewis and William Clark is a historic bronze sculpture of Meriwether Lewis, William Clark, and Sacagawea located at Charlottesville, Virginia. Known as Their First View of the Pacific, it was sculpted by noted artist Charles Keck (1875-1951), and was the first of four commemorative sculptures commissioned from members of the National Sculpture Society by philanthropist Paul Goodloe McIntire. The sculpture was erected in 1919.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.
On July 10, 2021, following the removal of the Stonewall Jackson and Robert E. Lee statues, the city called for an emergency council meeting where it was decided that the statue, along with the
George Rogers Clark sculpture, would also be removed that same day. It was removed at the request of descendants of Sacajawea.
