Looking at some of the bad reviews, it seems like they're almost all people who wanted to see this place, but weren't able to. YES, it's small. And I guess they have limited hours. I went with a group, and the organizer called ahead and arranged for it to be open for us, and for a docent to give a talk. This little place is PACKED with a lot of history that you won't hear about at the regular stops. I believe it's only been open for 10 years, but they've put together a fantastic museum, with SO MANY stories about each and every item. A must see! Entry fee is by donation.

There's plenty to do at this park. There's a waling trail that will take you around part of the park. Unfortunately, a windstorm years ago damaged many of the trees and closed part of this area. There's great picnic spots and open ground to toss a football or play soccer. There are several shelter houses, and of course, a nice playground for young children. Take a small drive through the park and there are several look out spots to look at the Mississippi River. One of these spots has a gigantic Mark Twain statue. We enjoy exploring through the woods and using our imaginations to fight off creatures and dragons!

My husband and I came across Cave Hollow West Winery south of Hannibal on a recent visit to the area. Bailey made several suggestions for wine we might enjoy tasting. We enjoyed a glass of wine and came back the following day for a bottle of something else we had tasted to take back home. Bailey was very welcoming and answered our questions about the winery.
