Arrow Rock State Historic SiteTake a leisurely stroll through the Arrow Rock State Historic Site, and you’ll feel as if you’ve traveled back in time to the 1800s. Restored homes, a courthouse and a jail are among the architectural treasures awaiting visitors. Look down to see wooden sidewalks beneath your feet; glance up and take in the quaint canopied storefronts. The entire town of Arrow Rock, nestled on a bluff along the Missouri River, has been designated a national historic landmark. Stay at a campground or enjoy the hospitality of a local bed and breakfast. Activities abound – after touring the historic site, spend some time camping, hiking, fishing or shopping for antiques. Have lunch at the Huston Tavern, serving hungry diners since 1834. Then sit back and take in a show at the Lyceum, one of Missouri’s oldest repertory theaters. The town, once a bustling river port, was so named because Native Americans gathered flint here for their arrowheads. |
