Sikeston

Visit Sikeston this spring, just a 2-hour drive south of St. Louis.

It was certainly a desire to ride through the state’s green and rolling-hill countryside in summertime that attracted us. Maybe there was a pain component, too, that was curiously, if a little perversely, compelling—confronting the dreaded beast that is humidity in Missouri’s hottest months. 

Attend a beautiful tree-lighting, marvel at a holiday parade, and more.
