JEFFERSON LANDING STATE HISTORIC SITE (  MISSOURI) DNR photo by George Kastler

Jefferson Landing, one of the few remaining 19th-century river-front landings on the Missouri River. 

The State Capitol, sits atop a bluff overlooking the Missouri River.  The magnificent white-limestone structure, resembling the one in Washington, D.C., stands majestically at the center of the city and contains the legislative chambers, numerous works of art, and the Missouri State Museum.  Its two large first-floor galleries provide a sampling of the state's natural resources and rich history.
