 Original Home of State Government |
200 South Main Street St. Louis, MO 63301 United States +1 636 940 3322 http://www.mostateparks.com/fi... |
Before the current state capitol was built in Jefferson City, legislators debated slavery and states rights in this historic area of St. Charles. After Missouri became a state in 1826, the people of St. Charles provided this site as a temporary capitol. Tour the capitol offices on the second floor of the historic building that originally housed the Peck Brothers General Store. The offices of the governor were kept in an adjoining building. Daily tours of this restored historic site include an audiovisual presentation and a trip through a museum. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Take a walk down history street |

Historic St. Charles' Main Street is the only street in the Greater St. Louis area preserved from the 1800s, back when the roads were used for horse and buggy carriages. The street and sidewalk are made of a red cobblestone. The tourism center gives free tours pertaining to the history of the area. There is also a museum dedicated to the Lewis and Clark expedition. Most people who visit the area shop for antiques or arts and crafts in one of the many interesting stores. While here, also take time out to enjoy the several restaurants, bars and ice cream shops located on Main Street. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Bike where Lewis and Clark explored |
1200 Riverside Drive St. Louis, MO 63301 United States +1 636 946 7776 http://www.mostateparks.com/ka... |
For a scenic bike ride in Missouri, just about all St. Louisians would recommend this smooth pebble trail. It runs from Historic St. Charles to the edge of St. Charles County, completely along the Missouri River. This is the route Lewis and Clark took on their expedition through the newly purchased Louisiana Purchase in the early 1800s. There is a bike shop on Main Street just west of the entrance at Riverside Drive. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Historic caverns |
Highway 44 (Exit 230) St. Louis, MO 63079 United States +1 573 468 3166 / +1 800 676 6105 http://www.americascave.com/ |
The geological history of Missouri lives on within these enormous caverns, which contain more than 6,000 known caves spread throughout 26 miles of underground territory. During the Civil War, Union forces used the caves for gunpowder production. Jesse James was among the Confederate raiders who blew up the operation. After the war, he and his gang used the caves as a hideout. Today, the cave is a family attraction with a gift shop, restaurant and museum. Guided tours leave at 20-30 minute intervals. Admission: USD14 adults; USD7 kids (5-11). Review © 2007, Wcities |
