$153 per person | Kimmswick, MO | Guided by Linda Koenig
Visit Mastodon State Park Visitor Center, to learn about the people and animals that lived in this area 12,000 years ago. View a most interesting film and exhibits here. This is across from the Kimmswick shopping area.
Next we will enjoy a great lunch at the renown Blue Owl Restaurant. Featured on many national TV shows, the Blue Owl is famous for its mile-high apple pie. We will order from the “Trio” menu, picking three from the following: several choices of soup, salad, sandwich, quiche and dessert.
After lunch there will be time for shopping in historic and quaint Kimmswick. This town that “time forgot” has many shops for all interests: antiques, crafts, clothing, collectibles, spices, and Christmas shops.
Next we will visit the restored Anheuser Mansion. This historic 1867 23-acre estate on the Mississippi River was gifted to Fred and Ruth Anheuser by his parents in the 1940’s. Lots of interesting Anheuser memorabilia are on display, including some of the dresses Mable Ruth wore to St. Louis society functions.
