Historical place

👍👍 This earth was once a garden place, With all her glories common; And men did live a holy race, And worship Jesus face to face, In Adam-ondi-Ahman. We read that Enoch walk'd with God, Above the pow'r of Mammon: While Zion spread herself abroad, And saints and angels sung aloud In Adam-ondi-Ahman. H...

Union Covered Bridge State Historic Site

Historical place

👍 It's a neat little place to learn a little about and see a covered bridge. You can walk across the covered bridge. The river branch below is pretty, and the edges were low enough that people were enjoying sitting in the water.

The Burr Oak Tree

Historical place

👍👍 I've been out here to see and photograph this tree in good weather and bad, for breathtaking sunsets, amid morning flurries, during thunderstorms (not too close to the tree!), on hot summer days, and snowy winter ones. One of the fascinations with this tree is that it has withstood the test of time-...

The Gray/Campbell Farmstead

Historical place

👍👍 We took a little field trip with a local homeschool group & really liked it! It was cool to see all of the history and the original buildings. I also got to participate in these activities with my daughter 😁 When we left, she said she was thankful she doesn’t have to carry water everyday 😆

Bothwell Lodge State Historic Site

Historical place

👍👍 There's not a whole lot to do in Sedalia, so make sure you visit this sensationally preserved historic home. Only $4 for a tour to help Missouri State Parks stay beautiful. Emma was a great tour guide. Fun, informative, worth it. (Also, pretty sure Mr. Bothwell was actually Bruce Wayne.)
