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.
The charming town of Hannibal, Missouri, is home to author Samuel Clemens (aka Mark Twain) and the "unsinkable" Molly Brown. Clemens' boyhood home is now a museum open to the public.
Favorite Places Along the River
The St. James Hotel in Red Wing, Minnesota is a must stop even if you aren't staying overnight. It has its own shopping mall and two great restaurants!

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.
