Historical sites on the northern Great River Road

Friday, February 07, 2025

A trip along the Great River Road is a trip through the history of America. Here are some historical sites and museums you shouldn’t miss as you follow the Mississippi River through Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, and Missouri.

Historic Fort Snelling, Minnesota

Located near the confluence of the Mississippi and Minnesota rivers in St. Paul, Fort Snelling has been a place where people have gathered for centuries, from the original Dakota and Ojibwe inhabitants of the area to early fur traders to soldiers from the Civil War and World War II. The National Historic Landmark includes a museum & visitor center (open year-round), and guided tours of the historic fort are available.

Stonefield Historic Site, Wisconsin

This historic site in Cassville in southwestern Wisconsin (across the highway from Nelson Dewey State Park) highlights the state’s agricultural history with exhibits and historical artifacts, as well as more than 30 restored historic businesses that illustrate rural life at the turn of the 20th century. Stonefield is located on the former estate of Wisconsin’s first governor (the previously mentioned Nelson Dewey), and visitors can also tour his home to learn about how Wisconsin transitioned from territory to state. Stonefield is open seasonally from late May through September.

Motor Mill Historic Site, Iowa

Get a look at 19th-century industry at Motor Mill Historic Site near Elkader in northeast Iowa—the property features a six-story limestone flouring building and four related buildings dating to the 1860s.  The mill sits on the banks of the Turkey River, which flows into the Mississippi River to the east a few miles south of Guttenberg. Public tours of the mill are offered on Saturdays in the summer and early fall, and the site is also has facilities for camping, canoeing & kayaking, and hiking. 

Black Hawk State Historic Site, Illinois

This 200-acre park on Rock Island in northwestern Illinois highlights the cultural and natural resources of the Quad Cities, which span the Mississippi River in Illinois and Iowa. The site features several historic buildings, including the Watch Tower Lodge, the Hauberg Museum (which tells the story of the Sauk and Meskwaki people who inhabited the region), and the Refectory (home to a permanent exhibit on the Civilian Conservation Corps and their work at the site.)

Gateway Arch National Park, Missouri

The only National Park located on the Great River Road (there are several National Monuments and other National Park Service sites, however), Gateway Arch National Park is an iconic attraction that towers 600 feet over the Mississippi River in St. Louis. While the Arch itself is the star attraction, the park is also home to the Museum of Westward Expansion, which includes many unique artifacts, including items from the famed Lewis & Clark expedition.

Why you should plan a Great River Road trip next year

Monday, November 25, 2024

Looking for a one-of-a-kind American adventure? Plan a road trip along the Great River Road, which follows the mighty Mississippi River for nearly 3,000 miles. The 10-state route offers a little bit of everything, from engaging historical sites to stunning scenery to delicious dining—here are four reasons to plan your road trip today.

It’s America’s greatest drive.

The Great River Road, which stretches from Lake Itasca in northern Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico in Louisiana, is a National Scenic Byway and an All-American Road, a designation given to only the most notable National Scenic Byways. All-American Roads offer a truly unique experience to travelers that they can’t find anywhere else.

The Great River Road was established in 1938 and has encouraged road trippers to discover the heart of America ever since. The Great River Road passes through big cities and small river towns, passing National Park Service sites, state parks, historic bridges, and locks & dams.

Taking the whole road in one trip is about 36 hours of driving, but most visitors spend 10 to 14 days if they’re doing the whole route (which isn’t mandatory—many travelers will just travel on one state’s section of the Great River Road or hope back and forth between neighboring states.

Learn more about the best drive in America.

There are lots of stunning sights along the way.

A trip along the Great River Road is a trip through some of America’s most beautiful scenery. Start your trip at the same place the Mississippi River does: Itasca State Park in northern Minnesota, where the river is so narrow you can walk across it (or roll up your pants and wade across in the summer).

The northern section of the road—especially Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Illinois—are home to lots of scenic overlooks at state and local parks that offer outstanding views of the river and the surrounding scenery. Get your cameras ready and head to photo hotspots like Garvin Heights Park in Winona, Minnesota; Buena Vista Park in Alma, Wisconsin; Pike’s Peak State Park in McGregor, Iowa; or Aerie’s Resort in Grafton, Illinois, where you can take a chair lift or gondola from the river to the blufftops.

See more scenic spots on the Great River Road here and here.

You’ll learn a lot at our Interpretive Centers.

There are nearly 100 official Great River Road Interpretive Centers—museums, historical sites, and other attractions that tell the story of the river and its people. Interpretive Centers can be found up and down the Great River Road and cover everything from music history (the Delta Blues Museum in Clarksdale, Mississippi) to Mississippi River ecology (the National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium in Dubuque, Iowa) to some of the region’s earliest settlers (Cahokia Mounds State Historical Site in Collinsville, Illinois, and Poverty Point in Pioneer, Louisiana, both of which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.)

Learn more about our Interpretive Centers.

You don’t want to miss the food.

From walleye in Minnesota to cheese curds in Wisconsin to catfish in Mississippi to… well, almost everything in New Orleans, the Great River Road’s outstanding local and regional cuisines are enough to fulfill almost any appetite. Diners will find a little bit of everything, from James Beard Award-winning restaurants to family-owned roadside stops that have been in business for generations.

And that’s not to mention the ice cream stands, sweets shops, and bakeries you’ll find all along the route, as well as the wineries, breweries, and distilleries that craft some of your favorite beverages with care.

Interpretive Centers to visit on the southern Great River Road

Tuesday, August 06, 2024

The Great River Road’s network of Interpretive Centers tells the story of the Mississippi River, its people, and its history at museums, historical sites, parks, and more through 10 states. Here are some of the Interpretive Centers you shouldn’t miss on the southern half of the road in Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Louisiana.

See more Interpretive Centers along the Great River Road here.

Fun for everyone

Discovery Park of America is a one-of-a-kind museum in northwestern Tennessee that features exhibits about Native American history, space exploration, dinosaurs, natural history, and loads more, as well as a 50-acre heritage park featuring gardens, a grist mill, and a manmade river.

Learn about the birth of blues music at the Delta Blues Museum in Clarksdale in the Mississippi Delta, about a 90-minute drive from Memphis. The museum features interesting exhibits and artifacts, including Muddy Waters’ sharecropper home, instruments played by greats like B.B. King and John Lee Hooker, and the sign from the juke joint where Robert Johnson played his final show.

Music fans can also see where a young Johnny Cash grew up at the Historic Dyess Colony/Johnny Cash Boyhood Home in northeastern Arkansas. This Arkansas State University Heritage Site educates visitors about the Great Depression and the Dyess Colony (a farm resettlement colony established by the federal government) and how these factors shaped the early life of the famed musician and many others. 

Parks and natural areas

Anglers, boaters, and birdwatchers will find a lot to explore at Lake Chicot State Park in southeastern Arkansas. Lake Chicot is 20 miles long and is the largest oxbow lake in North America, offering outstanding opportunities for fishing and boating, and programs at the park include tours of the lake and the Mississippi River levee.

Reelfoot Lake State Park in northwestern Tennessee has an interesting geologic history—the largest natural lake in Tennessee, Reelfoot Lake was formed during a violent earthquake in 1811 that caused the Mississippi River to flow backward and sank the area’s cypress trees under a massive rush of water. Today, Reelfoot Lake is a popular fishing destination (it’s one of the world’s best natural fish hatcheries) and a good spot for birdwatching, camping, and other activities.

The Jean Lafitte National Historic Park & Preserve invites visitors to explore New Orleans and beyond, offering free walking tours of the city’s famed French Quarter and lots of other sites to discover, including the 23,000-acre Barataria Preserve and three Acadian attractions that focus on Cajun life and traditions.

A trip through history

Kentucky’s stretch of the Great River Road is the shortest in the 10-state region, but visitors can still find some interesting historical attractions. Columbus-Belmont State Park sits on the site of a former Confederate fortification where the Battle of Belmont began in 1861, marking the opening of the Union’s western campaign (it was also Ulysses S. Grant’s first active engagement in the Civil War). Wickliffe Mounds State Historic Site is home to Native American mounds built by the Mississippian culture from the 12th to 14th century—a museum on site contains artifacts and shows visitors how the inhabitants used the river’s resources in their daily lives.

Another Civil War site worth visiting is Vicksburg National Military Park in east-central Mississippi. Vicksburg was the site of one of the most important campaigns of the Civil War, and visitors will learn about the men who fought this pitched battle for control of the Mississippi River, a key conflict that shaped the outcome of the war.

Did you know that Louisiana is home to a UNESCO World Heritage Site? Poverty Point World Heritage Site in the northeastern corner of the state preserves the remnants of a complex array of earthworks that predate the Mayan periods. The site dates to as early as 1700 BC and encompasses more than 400 acres.

Interpretive Centers to visit on the northern Great River Road

Monday, July 08, 2024

The Great River Road’s network of Interpretive Centers tells the story of the Mississippi River, its people, and its history at museums, historical sites, parks, and more.

All about the Mississippi River

Looking to learn a little bit about the mighty Mississippi River as you follow it through the Great River Road’s northern states?  Start at the Jacob V. Brower Visitor Center at Itasca State Park (where the Mississippi River starts), where you’ll find exhibits about the park’s history, the local environment, and more—plus, the headwaters of the Mississippi are just a short walk from the visitor center. The Mississippi River Visitor Center in Rock Island, Illinois, overlooks Lock & Dam 15, and visitors can learn about the Army Corps of Engineers’ efforts to tame the river and how barges and other boat traffic navigate the waterway.

Discover the fish and other animals that make their home in and around the Mississippi River at the National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium in Dubuque. This popular attraction in northeastern Iowa is home to 14 acres of river animals, including ducks, turtles, otters, stingrays, fish, and even an alligator.

In Wisconsin, the Genoa National Fish Hatchery and Great River Road Interpretive Center features two aquariums filled with fish native to the Mississippi River and a stream aquarium including fish typically found int the state’s streams. The hatchery grounds are also a good spot for birdwatching.

Parks and natural areas

Explore everything the Mississippi River has to offer at the National Park Service’s Mississippi River Visitor Center in St. Paul, which includes exhibits on the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area and river culture, biology, and history, as well as information on recreational opportunities like hiking, biking, boating, fishing, and more in the recreation area.

The Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Refuge—which is celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2024—stretches from Reads Landing, Minnesota, to Princeton, Iowa, and the refuge’s visitor center can be found in Onalaska, Wisconsin. The visitor center has exhibits about the river region and its wildlife, as well as an overlook frequented by bald eagles, swans, and other birds.

Pere Marquette State Park in Grafton is one of Illinois’ most beautiful parks, offering outstanding views of the Illinois River—a tributary of the Mississippi River—and great trails for hiking, scenic campsites, and excellent fishing.  Located along the Mississippi River in southeastern Missouri, the Cape Girardeau Conservation Campus Nature Center can be found in the city’s North County Park and is a great place for birdwatching and hiking.

One of several National Park Service sites on the Great River Road, Effigy Mounds National Monument in Harpers Ferry, Iowa, features more than 200 earthen mounds, some of which were constructed 1,400 years ago. The 2,500-acre park also has 14 miles of trails, some of which offer breathtaking views of the Mississippi River and its surroundings.

A trip through history

The confluence of the Mississippi and Minnesota Rivers has long been an important place of gathering, and St. Paul’s Historic Fort Snelling—situated at the meeting of these two waterways—tells a story that stretches back more than 10,000 years and includes Native American cultures like the Dakota, French fur traders, American soldiers, and many more.

Two iconic Interpretive Centers in Missouri take visitors through the history of the Mississippi River and America’s westward expansion: the Mark Twain Boyhood Home and Museum in Hannibal honors one of the country’s most famous authors, and Gateway Arch National Park in St. Louis includes not only the famous 550-foot-tall Arch but also the Museum of Westward Expansion, which includes artifacts from the Lewis and Clark expedition.

Speaking of iconic Americans, William F. Cody (aka “Buffalo Bill”) was born in LeClaire, Iowa, and fans of Western history can learn about his life at the city’s Buffalo Bill Museum and Lone Star Steamer, which is also home to the nation’s sole remaining wood-hulled steamboat. 

Learn about Wisconsin’s agricultural history at Stonefield Historic Site in Cassville, which is located on the former estate of the Dairy State’s first governor and boasts more than 30 restored historic businesses and Wisconsin’s largest collection of farm equipment and vintage tractors.

Did you know that Illinois’ section of the Great River Road is home to a UNESCO World Heritage Site? Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site in Collinsville tells the story of the most sophisticated prehistoric native civilization north of Mexico, which once covered more than 4,000 acres and included more than 120 earthen mounds.
