Little Mary's River Covered Bridge

Reviewed By jonc220 - San Jose, United States

Very picturesque bridge which is part of a picnic area a couple miles outside of town. Easy to get to as it is directly from main road. Went there on a weekday and nobody else was there. Has public bathroom but be aware... the graffiti in the bathrooms is very explicit.

Kaskaskia Bell

Reviewed By Butterflydays - Cape Girardeau, United States

We took a drive to see the pretty fall colors in the leaves, and ended up in St. Mary's, MO. Just over the bridge and along a country road, we came into the town of Kaskaskia. This is a small town with lots of history. Everything was freshly mowed, so it was very easy walking around. We didn't have an appointment to go inside, but it was still a peaceful little place to visit.
