Review:
The Great River Road is a unique collection of regional roads that collectively follow along the route of the majestic Mississippi River, spanning 10 states headed south from Minnesota to the river's terminus at Louisiana. The unique route is home to some of the most renowned historic attractions in the state of Missouri, including the beautiful Mark Twain Cave Complex, which preserves cave sites that were featured in a number of the author's famed novels. Visitors can explore natural sites like Mastodon State Historic Site, which showcases archaeological sites connected to the Paleoindian Clovis culture, or tour the 1792 National Historic Landmark Bolduc House Museum, which is open as a living history museum. Other attractions include the Rosemary Berkel and Harry L. Crisp II Museum, historic chocolatiers Bankhead Chocolates, and picturesque Cuivre River State Park.
