Jefferson Landing State Historic Site
After riding on the Katy Trail alongside the Missouri River, you can learn more about the Missouri’s history at Jefferson Landing State Historic Site in Jefferson City. Jefferson Landing, one of the few remaining 19th century riverfront landings on the Missouri River, was a busy center of commerce in Jefferson City during the mid-1800s. Steamboats traveling between St. Louis and Kansas City often docked in front of the Lohman Building, which now houses a visitor center. The nearby Union Hotel contains the Elizabeth Rozier Gallery. The historic site is operated by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.
