1805
Astoria, Oregon

Lewis and Clark put the question of where to winter to a vote that included York, an enslaved man, and Sacagawea, decades before either could have voted anywhere else in the country. They built a log fort and spent three and a half months in it, with rain on all but twelve days, boiling seawater for salt and rewriting their journals.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
