(38º30'0"N 92º30'0"W)

The State of Missouri, known as the “Show-Me State”, joined the Union on August 10, 1821 as the 24th state. The name Missouri means “town of the large canoes” in Siouan Indian language.

Missouri is bounded on the east by the Mississippi River and the states of Illinois, Kentucky and Tennessee, on the south by Arkansas, on the west by Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska, and the north by Iowa. The state is divided west to east by the Missouri River; to the north are rolling plains, to the south is the Ozark Mountain plateau. The Mississippi-Missouri river system is the 4th largest in the world.

Two of the nation's mightiest waterways define the geography, industry, and life-styles of the Show Me State. And two mighty cities linked by the river system form front and back doors for this singular land at the heart of the nation.

Where the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers come together sits St. Louis. Across the state, Kansas City sprawls where the Missouri bends toward the north. The latter, once a river landing that pioneers braving the Santa Fe and Oregon Trails used as a jump-off point, drew its growth by facing west. The former long oriented itself more towards the East and New Orleans. Together the two dominate the state.

Life on the Mississippi has changed in Mark Twain's Hannibal, but a museum, boyhood home, and various Tom-Huck-Becky memorabilia recall the mid-19th-century steamboat era. Southward, State 79 clings to green riverbanks; at Clarksville a chair lift takes you to Lookout Point atop one towering bluff.

Soaring over St. Louis's waterfront, the 630-foot-high Gateway Arch of stainless steel commemorates westward expansion. A spectacular view of this proud old city and its environs can be gained from an observation room at the apex of the arch.

Downriver from St. Louis, Ste. Genevieve recalls its 1730s French colonial origins with restored homes and a lively Jour de Fete in August. And Sikeston, on the alluvial plain that is Missouri's bootheel, celebrates its cotton harvest with a September carnival.

Southern Missouri abounds in natural springs that feed such twisting streams as the Jacks Fork and Current. Nearly 100 square miles of this region–hills and hollows, quiet woods–are preserved as the Ozark National Scenic Riverways. Some fishermen and float trippers ply the watercourses in the traditional flat-bottomed johnboat, but canoes are more common now.

Tourism has brushed a commercial touch onto the heart of the Ozarks, but away from motel, curio shop, and ballyhoo exists a region rich with timbered ridges and people proud of hill ways

The Osage Orange tree was introduced to Missouri from the south-central US as a windbreak, a source for railroad ties, and fencing cattle pastures. The green-yellow fruit, which has a texture that resembles an orange, can be up to 6 inches in diameter and contains many seeds. The Missouri Department of Conservation warns people to wear hardhats around female trees in early Autumn when the “oranges” fall.

In an 1803 letter Jefferson charged Lewis & Clark, the leaders of an expedition to “. . . explore the Missouri river, and such principal stream of it as by its course and communication with the waters of the Pacific Ocean whether the Columbia, Oregon, Colorado or any other river may offer the most direct and practicable water communication across this continent for the purposes of commerce.”

St Louis skyline, Gateway Arch, Missouri

The Gateway Arch, a 630 foot tall “inverted steel catenary arch” has become the icon of St. Louis. Known as the “Gateway to the West”, the Arch is part of the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial and located near the starting point of the Lewis & Clark Expedition.

The Arch and surrounding park was established to commemorate three historical events: 1- The Louisiana Purchase, 2-the first civil government west of the Mississippi River, and 3- the debate over slavery raised by the Dred Scott case.

The Arch was designed by architect Eero Saarinen.
