Day 446
We walked across a footbridge over the Missouri River to the Capital of Missouri, Jefferson City. The Missouri River is the longest river in the United States. I know, you thought the Mississippi River was the longest. The Mississippi is actually 20 miles shorter than the Missouri.
What is now the State of Missouri was part of the April 30, 1803 Louisiana Purchase (actually the Agreement was signed on May 2, 1803 and backdated). A statute of the Signing of the Louisiana Purchase Agreement, sits in front the the Missouri Capital Building.
The Missouri State Capital building is the most ornate Capital I have seen. With many archways, it is a visual maze.
It is interesting to note that both Lewis and Clark were each Governors of Missouri after their famous expedition.
Let us take a moment to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice to bring us smoother roads.
