The town was a temporary capital of Missouri. Excellent preservation and information! I had planned to just stop by and then continue west, but the rains were out there and this place was fantastic. So I just stayed until the raindrops began to fall. I tasted some Missouri wine (not bad, not great). Had lunch at an Irish pub (Llewelyn’s) that was inside an old bank. You could eat in the vault. The bar was beautiful and the selections of drinks outstanding. Bangers and Mash.
St. Charles was the last civilized place visited by Lewis and Clark. Lots of information about their travels.
Missouri has converted a rail line into a rail trail. 200 miles! The Katy Trail. It runs along the Missouri River, so it’s mostly flat. I want to return with a bicycle.
The second floor of this building was used for state business.
Pretty post office

Eat in a vault.
Mary Poppins would feel at home here.
The Katy Trail
Lewis and Clark, plus one. They really are looking northwest.
