The mighty Mississippi was the lifeblood of many Missouri towns for over a century. The Missouri Great River Road is a route with stories to tell and a history to preserve. Civil War History and the movement west are just two of the great American stories that the byway has to tell.
Interpretive sites are being established along this 30 mile section of the Great River Road in Missouri beginning at the southern boundary of Clarksville. Numbered signs are positioned for the visitor to make stops along the way.
