When in Chillicothe, be sure and drive around the downtown area and along Highway 65 and see the historic murals on the sides of many of the buildings. They have been painted by a local artist, and you can visit him at his studio one block off the main road.

A piece of civil war history is still in the column of the courthouse from the Battle of Lexinton. See the cannon ball and drive past the homes from civil war time.

We had a friend recommend coming up here for lunch, did not really know what to expect. There is a $10.00 fee to park, at the entrance. We thought about doing the golf cart, but it was $42.00 a person, so that was a no! The girl said to take the free shuttle to the top and said it was worth seeing. Boy was she right!!! We explored the restaurant’s four stories, walked around the grounds, went in the cute chapel, were in awe of the giant sink hole that did away with the driving range and pond. Wow!!! Saw beautiful Native America works of art all through the restaurant. Did not do the museum, but will next time. Took tons of pictures. The $10.00 parking fee is all we spent, plus I did buy a $12.00 ornament in the gift shop. Definitely do this little excursion!

A beautiful statue, a beautiful view. The park where this sits is a great place to get out and walk. It is also a nice place to have a picnic

This was a wonderful experience and I think one of our favorite things we did in St. Louis. We chose to drive through, and took our time to see all the art. Not the greatest area to be in, but I felt just fine going through during the day. The art is amazing!
