It’s Educational!

There are so many sights to see in Missouri that teach about the history of not only Missouri but of the United States and even the world. Places like Deutschheim Historical Site in Hermann, Mo. and there, you can learn about some of the first German-Americans. You could drive a different direction every day and have a new history lesson everyday.  You can stand where the history was made.

It’s Economical!

First of all there is so much beautiful scenery to see in Missouri that just a ride down any road will surely entice you to want to see more. It only takes the cost of your fuel to take a ride to sightsee. There are 88 State Parks and Historical sites in Missouri and many National Historic markers not to mention all the attractions that aren’t operated by government entities. Entrance to Missouri state parks is free. Some activities have nominal fees but you can enjoy them essentially for free. You don’t have to book a flight to get to any of them if you are already in Missouri. Missouri is a beautiful state in any season.

It’s Inspiring!

You never know when inspiration will strike. Especially when you take your children along. Inspiration hides in unsuspecting places. A young boy or girl might be inspired to become a world renowned author after a visit the Laura Ingalls Wilder home in Mansfield, Mo. or a visit to our state capital may inspire someone to become a politician who will change the world.
