Mississippi River Fun Facts
Great River RoadThe Great River Road was established in 1938 as the national parkway of the Mississippi River. Follow the green Pilot's Wheel road signs that mark its route nearly 3,000 miles through 10 states.
A raindrop falling into Lake Itasca would arrive at the Gulf of Mexico in about 90 days.
Favorite Places Along the River
My favorite view of the Mississippi River is in the Vicksburg National Military Park in Vicksburg, Mississippi. The park is 1,800 acres of earthworks, cannons, monuments and the most spectacular overlook of the River. Also displayed at the park is the "USS Cairo," a Union ironclad sunk by the Confederacy and raised after more than a century underwater.

Favorite Places Beyond the River
Located in historic downtown Paducah, the Museum of the American Quilter’s Society lobby is adorned with beautiful stained glass windows in a variety of quilted patterns. You'll find more than 150 quilts on display; treasures not to be your “grandmas” quilts, but delicate works of art.
