Historic Sites and Museum Affiliates Program
To expand our interpretative efforts and tell more inclusive stories without expanding the physical inventory of the park system, the division could enter into agreements with local historic properties and museums to integrate them into an overall plan to expand the interpretive themes and messages of the state park system. This likely would involve signing an agreement with these entities and allowing our staff to help with technical assistance, exhibit development and limited capital improvement and operating subsidies.
Increase Land Acquisition Effort
To acquire properties for future development or to protect existing parks and sites will require expanded land acquisition.
Accessible Trail Loops at each Park and Site
This would allow those who need fitness walks a consistent pathway for them to use, plus encourage older residents and those with disabilities to utilize the park more fully.
Acquire Diverse Sites
Target new acquisitions toward underdeveloped or non-existing sites that present a more inclusive history and stories in Missouri.
Acquire and Develop a Site to Represent the Agricultural History of Missouri
The state park system does not have a site that preserves the agricultural history of our state.
