Trailside Center

Museum Historic site

🫤 This was listed as a National Parks Historic Site, but when we got there, it was basically a meeting room. A meeting was about to start, so they showed us a few brochures and an old wooden wheel in the back of the room in a crammed little space.

    Have been here for monthly am 6th District meetings, Gardeners of America meetings, Iris society meetings, and they put on GREAT programs thru the Center itself. They are also an information center with Missouri resource pamphlets on vacation ideas - worth a visit !

    A lot of information about the Santa Fe, California and Oregon National Historic Trails, but very lacking compared to most similar National Park Information Centers.
