411. Side Trip - Boonville, Missouri, Steamboat Landing

SIDE TRIP - if you are near Old and New Franklin #409

Boonville was the jumping-off point of the Santa Fe Trail for a short period of time after New Franklin. The town takes pride in its historic roots. Look for the kiosk (wayside exhibit) in the Cobblestone Street Park. Walk under the bridge and look at the river where the steamboat landing would have been. Remains of the cobblestone street by the steamboat landing can still be seen under the Missouri River Bridge.
