Missouri Places to See

Places to See, Missouri Tourism
We have selected our favorite, sometimes less known
places to see when visiting Missouri.
Alaska Native Heritage Center
Pony Express Museum - St. Joseph
The Pony Express Museum provides information and exhibits about the life and
work of those who rode on horseback to deliver the mail through the Old West.
Mark Twain Boyhood Home & Museum - Hannibal
Visit the boyhood home of Mark Twain and see a collection of historic items in
the adjoining museum. Nearby is the Becky Thatcher House, actually the Hawkins
family home. Laura Hawkins was the model for Becky Thatcher in Twain’s
stories.
Negro Leagues Baseball Museum - Kansas City
African Americans began to play professional baseball during the Civil War,
but by 1900, racism forced black players to form their own teams and their own
leagues which flourished until 1945, when Jackie Robinson became the first
black player to play on a white professional team. The last of the Negro
League teams folded in the early 1960s, and their legacy is preserved in this
museum.
Meramec Caverns - Stanton
Meramec Caverns is the largest commercial cave in Missouri, a state also known
as the Cave State. The caverns chronicle over 400 million years of history.
Early Indian tribes used the cave as a shelter, and the cave may have been
used as a station on the “Underground Railroad.” Jesse James and his gang used
the cave as a hideout. Meramec Caverns was opened to the public in 1935 as a
tourist attraction and features 26 miles of underground passages.
Lewis & Clark Center - St. Charles
The Lewis & Clark Center is dedicated to the accomplishments of the Lewis &
Clark Expedition in the early 19th century. The center includes a museum,
trading post, and detailed dioramas showing the expedition traveling the
length of the Missouri River, crossing the Rocky Mountains and proceeding to
the Pacific Ocean.
