Overview
The Rooms Where History Happened
Before Jefferson City became the Capital, hotels shaped its story. As the town grew from frontier roots, places like the City Hotel served travelers, lawmakers, and locals for over 80 years.
During each legislative session, hotels and boarding houses—like the one run by the Lansdown sisters—were in high demand. Hotels like the Madison and Monroe House became landmarks of progress, constantly expanding and modernizing.
These spaces weren’t just for sleeping. They hosted teas, dances, civic meetings, and debates that shaped the future of Missouri.
From social events to political movements, hotels were at the center of it all.
Local historian Michelle Brooks checks in to tell the stories behind these historic stays.
Perfect for readers who love small-town history, Missouri heritage, and forgotten local landmarks.
