St. Louis houses one of the most recognizable monuments in the state, if not the country – the St. Louis Arch – as well as more free major visitor attractions than anywhere in the nation, outside the capital. Museums, history, Mark Twain’s home, and of course the Mississippi River, western Missouri is no stranger to fun things to do and see. Whether you are looking to explore the more than 5,500 caves in the state, take a ferry boat down the Mississippi, or simply want to be in a state that has lower than average cost of living with all four seasons, Missouri may be the right choice for you.
