Overview
Take a trip back through 10,000 years of Missouri history.
Wherever you live in the Show-Me State, chances are good someone was there thousands of years before—a member of one of the many ancient civilizations that called Missouri home. These include the Hopewell, who built large towns throughout the Kansas City area; the Mississippians, who built cities with towering pyramids and large plazas along that great river, especially around St. Louis (nicknamed “Mound City” for that reason in the early 19th century) and the Bootheel; the Oneonta, who built massive hilltop enclosures along the Missouri River in central Missouri; the Niúachi (Missouria), for whom the state is named; the Osage and Illiniwek (Illinois), who lived in towns in southwest and northeast Missouri; and the artists who carved marvels in stone at Thousand Hills and Washington state parks, all of which you can see today, absolutely free.
Author Neal W. Fandek guides Missourians on a tour of ancient wonders in their own backyard.
