Adventure, sights, festivals, history and Superman beckon travelers across the Missis-sippi River into Illinois.

MetropolisMetropolis, Ill., located at Exit 37 on I-24

at the southernmost tip of Illinois, is the offi-cial home of Superman and proudly honors its favorite son with a 15-foot bronze statue at Superman Square. And now, a new stat-ue of actress Noel Neil, posed as Lois Lane, stands just two blocks down the street.

The annual Superman Celebration on June 6-9 pays tribute to their favorite lead-ing man with entertainment, an amusement park, car show, celebrity appearances and a $1,000 Superhero Costume Contest. Re-

turning this year will be fan-favorites Mar-got Kidder and Michael Rosenbaum on June 8. Fans of all things Man-of-Steel know her best as “Lois Lane” from the Superman films. Rosenbaum is known for his role as “Lex Luthor” on “Smallville.”

In addition, organizers are once again encouraging Superman fans from all over to meet at the Superman Statue to break the record for the Largest Gathering of People Dressed as Superman.

Metropolis is also home to the first state park in Illinois – Fort Massac State Park, which overlooks the Ohio River. Experience the scenic splendor of southern Illinois with outdoor fun, such as hiking, camping, pic-nicking or boating and fishing on the Ohio River.

At Fort Massac, take a historical journey at the replica of the 1802 American fort that was on site. The historic fort area contains two barracks, three block houses, officer quarters, well, stockade and a fraise fence. The site also has the archaeological outline of the 1757 French fort.

For those who enjoy the excitement of gaming, Metropolis is also home to Harrah’s Metropolis Casino & Hotel.

For more information on Metropolis, visit www.metropolistourism.com.

Litchfield, Ill.Experience the nostalgia of three miles of

original “Mother Road” highway while driv-ing through Litchfield, located along Inter-state 55 about one hour from St. Louis.

Litchfield boasts what is believed to be the oldest restaurant on Route 66. The Ariston

Café was founded by Pete Adam, a Greek immigrant, in Carlinville, Ill., in 1924. In 1929 the cafe was relocated to Litchfield, and moved to its present location on Route 66 in 1935.

Drive-in movie theaters are a thing of the past in St. Louis, but one remains along His-toric Rte. 66 in Litchfield. Sky View Drive-In began operating in the spring of 1950. It is now open for the season on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings.

For the outdoor enthusiast, Lake Lou Yaeger has over 45 miles of beautiful shore-line with 300 acres of parks. The lake draws fishermen and boaters from both Illinois and Missouri. Discover the lake on the Fourth of July during Litchfield’s huge fireworks display at the lake. From June to September, bass tournaments are held each Thursday evening at 5:15 p.m. and are open to the public.

It’s A Bird, It’s A Plane, It’s Super In Illinois

Effingham, Ill.Located in Central Illinois where Inter-

state 57 meets Interstate 70, Effingham has a little something for everyone. The city boasts 18 hotels and over 60 restaurants and many attractions. The Effingham Performance Center attracts such artists as Rock and Roll hall of famer B.B. King who will perform on May 29, and Bob Saget’s “R” rated stand-up act on June 21.

Other Effingham attractions include Cross at the Crossroads, Firefly Grill on the shores of Kristie Lake, the intimate Tuscan Hills Winery and Lake Sara.

The annual FunFest for Air-Cooled VWs, will draw over 1,000 VWs and 8,000 enthusiasts to Mid America Motorworks on May 31-June 2.

While in Effingham, stop by the Visitor Center, pick up a “pig” and take pictures of the pig on your travels. Post the picture on Visit Effingham’s Facebook page for a chance to win a gift basket featuring local businesses.

North of Effingham off I-57 is beautiful Lake Shelbyville, an Army Corps of Illinois lake with 11,000 acres of water featuring 200 miles of shoreline, camping, boating, hiking and more.

Lake Shelbyville is renowned for great fishing. It was selected by Bassmaster Maga-zine as one of the best bass lakes in Illinois. With swim season, don the bathing suits and take a dip in the lake’s three public beaches which open on May 25 for the season.

Put on the hiking shoes and hike some of the over 50 miles of developed multi-pur-pose trails on public lands, stopping to enjoy the scenery and picturesque views.

MonticelloThe town of Monticello boasts the Mon-

ticello Railway Museum where visitors can take a train ride and see a railway car display

that includes a Pullman and post office car. The museum is open Saturdays and Sun-days, May through October.

OkawvilleFrom St. Louis, head east on Interstate

64 about 40 miles to “enjoy the splendor of a simpler time” in Okawville. The town has long enjoyed its reputation as home to the only remaining mineral springs resort in Illinois. For many years excursion trains brought guests to the baths for the therapeu-tic effects of the mineral water. Originally founded as Bridgeport in 1838, it wasn’t un-til the mid 1870s that Germans immigrated, renaming the community Okawville.

The Original Springs Hotel was estab-lished in 1867 when the value of the mineral water was discovered. The hotel consists of a century-old hotel, restaurant, and mineral spa. Its present building was opened May 1, 1893, after a fire completely destroyed the previous structure in 1891. The hotel has a heated pool and 36 guest rooms, a blend of the past and present.

The hotel offers several packages for sweethearts or friends who seek a relaxing getaway centered around mineral baths.

Golfers can spend the day at the 18-hole Roland Barkau Memorial Golf Course, then head to the hotel for a spa treatment before enjoying dinner in the restaurant.

A Simpler Life Awaits In Illinois Amish CountryIn Illinois Amish Country horse-drawn

buggies are nearly as common as automo-biles. Since 1865, when three Pennsylvania Mennonite families first settled in the area, it has become known simply as “Amish Coun-try.”

To get there, take Interstate 57 north to the communities of Arthur, Arcola, Tuscola and Sullivan, home to about 4,500 conservative, rural Amish who strive to “be not conformed to this world.” Their presence, combined with their more progressive “English” neigh-bors, creates an intriguing cultural blend of the old and the new. The two factions are respectful of one another’s differences and together have created a haven for tourism.

Arthur, whose motto is “you’re a stranger only once,” is in the heart of Amish Country, 10 miles west of I-57. The vibrant central shopping district in the downtown district is chock-full of Amish-owned or operated shops selling handcrafted clothes, custom cabinetry, home furnishings and unique gifts. Discover these items and take the time to visit with shopkeepers to learn more about their lifestyle. Most Amish-owned businesses are closed on Sundays.

Arthur doesn’t have any chain restau-rants. Instead, locally-owned eateries serve lovingly prepared comfort food. For a treat, stop by Dick’s Pharmacy for a “world fa-mous soda.”

Arthur hosts several annual festivals and ongoing events, such as the Downtown Craft Market, held the third Saturday of every month with an array of crafts and antiques.

On Saturday, June 1, come out for the annual Strawberry Jam Festival, which fea-tures live music, strawberry treats of every kind, crafts, games and more.

Arthur will play host to about 30,000 on Saturday, June 29, for Arthur’s Freedom Celebration and Fireworks. The annual event features fireworks, craft shows, pa-rades, food and more.

Other events are scheduled throughout

the summer, such as the Annual Moultrie-Douglas County Fair, July 7-13. For a com-plete schedule of activities, visit www.illinois-amishcountry.com.

While Arthur is considered the heart of Amish Country, Arcola is home to the larg-est Amish community in Illinois.

The Illinois Amish Museum at Rockome Gardens in Arcola offers an in-depth introduction to the Old Order lifestyle. In addition to the museum, stroll through Rockome’s extensive gardens, visit the shops, or enjoy a family-style meal at the restaurant. Tours of Amish homes and farms can also be arranged.

For those in the market for Amish furni-ture, Arcola has plenty of options at its vari-ous furniture dealers.

The community also schedules numerous events throughout the year. On June 7 and 8, Raggedy Ann and Andy enthusiasts will

visit the small town that was the boyhood home of the creator of the Raggedy Ann phenomenon, Johnny Gruelle.

On June 15, the Pop the Top Festival will feature a car show in Downtown Arcola, adjacent to “The One and Only Moomaw America Hippie Memorial.” Plus, check out the15 beautiful new murals painted by the famous Walldogs, celebrating Arcola history.

Horse Progress Days will showcase new-ly-manufactured and modified horse-drawn equipment July 5 and 6. Highlights include field demonstrations, educational seminars, a parade of breeds, pony pulls, sheep herd-ing demonstrations and more.

Arcola has the distinction as being “Broom Corn Capital of the World.” The Broom Corn Festival on Sept. 6-8 will cel-ebrate that honor with broom activities, arts and crafts, free entertainment, great food, a parade, 5K or 10K races and more.

KimmswickJust 25 miles south of St. Louis down

I-55 is the historic village of Kimmswick, founded in 1850 along the mighty Missis-sippi River. The small town features quaint craft and specialty stores such as Mississip-pi Mud Gallery & Gifts; restaurants, such as the popular Blue Owl Restaurant; and a variety of family-friendly events.

On June 16, the town will host its annual

Father’s Day Car Show, which is open to all makes and models of cars, trucks and mo-torcycles.

Ste. GenevieveVisitors to Ste. Genevieve can step back

into the world of an authentic 18th Century French colony while enjoying the friendly at-mosphere and charm of small-town Ameri-ca. Tour internationally-recognized historic homes, shop unique specialty stores and browse art galleries, taste wines and savor the local cuisine

Much of the town’s charm and ambiance is due to the remarkable preservation of the original Colonial settlement. Its narrow streets and fenced gardens surround some of the most significant 18th-century architec-ture in the nation.

Established on the west bank of the Mis-sissippi River, the village of Ste. Genevieve was settled in the late 1740s about two miles south of its present location.

To celebrate its history, the small town hosts numerous events throughout the year.

During the second weekend in June, French Fest will feature living history, live traditional music, folk dancing, French cui-sine, wine tasting, re-enactors in period dress, gumbo cook-off with French delights, street dance, parades, open houses, walking tours, tea with ‘Marie Antoinette’ at the Guibourd House and more.

On July 4, come for Freedom Celebration with music, dancing, food and fireworks.

The annual Jour de Fête is southeast Mis-souri’s largest crafts fair. Held in the heart of Ste. Genevieve’s Historic District on the second full weekend in August, visitors can

About two hours from St. Louis north on Highway 61, discover the scenic river town of Hannibal, the childhood home of beloved author Samuel Clemens, aka Mark Twain. The town was founded in 1819, along the banks of the Mississippi River. It was there that Clemens found the inspira-tion for his books, such as “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” and “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.”

The Mark Twain Boyhood Home and Museum, which celebrated its 100th anni-versary in 2012, offers a glimpse into Cle-mens’ life with its eight historic buildings, including the Boyhood Home, a National Historic Landmark. Stop in to see the mu-seum’s updated exhibit of 15 original Nor-man Rockwell paintings.

Hannibal plays hosts to numerous events, such as Twain on Main Festival on May 25 and 26. The free arts and crafts festival with a Mark Twain twist with vendors, entertain-ment, food and fun. This year’s theme is Mark Twain’s book, “The Prince and the Pauper.”

A wide variety of wares by artists and ar-tisans will be on display at the Hannibal Art Fair on June 15 and 16 in downtown Han-nibal.

Music Under the Stars, a series of free concerts, is held on Thursdays at 7 p.m. in front of Samuel Clemens’ Boyhood Home beginning May 30 to July 25.

Perry CountyOne of the oldest communities in Mis-

souri, Perry County was settled by Lutheran immigrants in the early 1800s. Located just west of the Mississippi River about 80 miles from St. Louis, the area includes Perryville, Frohna, Altenburg, Brazeau and Farrar.

In Frohna, the Saxon Lutheran Memo-rial, an outdoor history museum set in a log cabin village, highlights the pioneering spirit of the early immigrants from Germany who settled Perry County.

The historic working farm and home was the home of Wilhelm and Christian Bergt, two brothers who participated in the 1839 immigration from Saxony Germany. Today the site is listed on the National Registry of Historic Places and consists of 15 buildings, seven of which are historic log cabins dating from 1820 to 1840.

On Saturday, June 29, the memorial will come to life with a Bluegrass Music Fest beginning at 10 a.m. In addition to all-day music and jam session open to visiting “jam-mers,” visitors can enjoy fare from local eat-eries, fresh baked bread and coffee cake. The day will close with a fireworks finale.

Perryville, the “Heartland’s best-kept secret,” has a small-town feel while offer-

ing amenities of larger communities. Shop specialty stores, visit wineries, then head to Willow House Bed and Breakfast, Per-ryville’s first bed and breakfast. Built in1901, the Victorian home has been historically re-stored and provides many of today’s accom-modations.

Ellen and Steve Frye of Webster Groves host guests at the Eggers & Company Gen-eral Store-Bed and Breakfast in Farrar. The The general store with house attached is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and has been lovingly restored by the Fryes. Ellen’s grandfather, Martin ”Tom” Eggers and his brother Walt were the store owners from 1920 through 1966.

Missouri’s eighth and newest wine trail can be found among the rolling hills of Southeast Missouri. The Mississippi River Hills Wine Trail, established in 2012, con-sists of six wineries. They are alike in that the wineries are all family-owned and oper-ated, but each has its unique appeal and of-fers a diversity of wines from dry and semi-dry to sweet and fruity. The wineries are: The Barrens Winery in Perryville, Apple Creek Vineyard & Winery in Friedheim, Hemman Winery in Brazeau, Tower Rock Vineyard and Winery in Altenburg, Roth-brick Winery in Jackson and Hunter Valley Winery in Cape Girardeau.

Youngsters portray Becky Thatcher and Huckleberry Finn in Hannibal.

Outdoor enthusiasts have plenty of op-tions when it comes to experiencing the state’s woodlands, rivers and streams.

Ellington, a small community nestled in the rolling green hills of Reynolds County in the southern Missouri Ozarks, has just over 1,000 residents, yet the region abounds with natural attractions. Designated Mis-souri Scenic Highway 21 connects the com-munity to new four-lane U.S. 60 about 19 miles to the south. St. Louis is 130 miles to the northeast and Poplar Bluff is 55 miles to the southeast.

The area boasts thousands of acres of state and federal forests and parks to rivers and large lakes. Included are the Current and Black rivers, Clearwater Lake, Rocky Falls and Blue Spring. Fort Barnesville, a Civil War encampment, is in the process of partial restoration. Ellington is also home to the Reynolds County Museum, which high-lights the rich history of the Ozarks.

Three miles west of Ellington on High-way 106 is the Missouri Department of Conservation’s Current River Conservation Area, which encompasses approximately 28,000 acres. The area offers nature lovers a variety of activities from hiking, birding, hunting, camping and fishing.

The Blue Springs Natural Area is part of the conservation area. Blue Spring is the sixth largest, and the deepest, spring in Mis-souri with an average daily flow of 90 mil-lion gallons of water.

Experience the beauty of this area by car along Scenic Highway 106, a 26-mile stretch from Ellington to Eminence.

Over Labor Day bring the family to the Reynolds County Fair for a three full days of carnival rides, a bull-riding rodeo, four-wheeler event, mule jumping, games, food, beauty pageants, crafts, entertainment, horse shows, and more.

Ozark National Scenic RiverwaysWest of Ellington can be found the mag-

nificent Ozark National Scenic Riverways.

Ozark National Scenic Riverways is the first national park area to protect a river system – the Current and Jacks Fork rivers. Spring-fed, cold and clear, the rivers are a delight to canoe, swim, boat or fish. Besides these two famous rivers, the park is home to hundreds of freshwater springs, caves, trails and his-toric sites such as Alley Mill.

For more information on the Ozark Na-tional Scenic Riverways, visit www.nps.gov/ozar/index.htm.

SteelvilleSteelville and Cuba, west of St. Louis

off Interstate 44, are also popular outdoor recreation areas. The Meramec River cuts a path between Cuba and neighboring Steel-ville. Steelville is situated on three rivers: the Meramec, the Huzzah and the Courtois. Canoeing and kayaking are big draws in warm-weather months.

With the Meramec Music Theatre, Steel-ville is also the place for music lovers. It fea-tures concerts from country to oldies, patri-otic to Christmas shows, plus professional gospel and bluegrass groups.

For family reunions, Kick’n K Farmhouse & Arena in Steelville provides a private coun-try experience in its 1899 farmhouse which

sleeps up to 10. Along with water fun on the Meramec River, the farmhouse offers a vari-ety of recreational activities.

For canoeing to camping along the Cour-tois, Huzzah and Meramec rivers, Bass Riv-er Resort, 10 miles east of Steelville offers many options.

In Cuba, groups large and small are wel-come at the Country Kitchen, which features a buffet on weekends.

Trout LodgeVisit YMCA Trout Lodge and discover

why it has been a favorite destination for families for over 50 years.

Savor Missouri’s wine country with its rolling hills, beautiful countryside, quaint German towns, plus award-winning wines. In fact, Missouri has long been noted for its wines – as far back as the Civil War.

Wineries along the picturesque Missouri Weinstrasse (scenic Highway 94 wine road) remain top producers, garnering critical ac-claim. But they also attract tourists, who en-joy sampling locally-manufactured vintages, touring wineries, strolling through historic districts and browsing at boutiques, antique shops and craft fairs.

AugustaThe small town of Augusta boasts the first

recognized wine district in the United States. Augusta, just 30 minutes west of St. Louis, joins Defiance, Dutzow, Washington and Hermann as the small-town gems of Missouri Wine Country, a scenic 50-mile swath strad-dling the Missouri River.

Augusta’s newest winery is family-owned Noboleis Vineyards. Enjoy lunch, wine and rolling vineyards, while listening to live music every Saturday and Sunday through August (www.noboleisvineyards.com).

DefianceDefiance is home to Chandler Hill

Vineyards, which features live music on weekends through August. For more details, call 636-798-2675 or visit www.chandlerhillvineyards.com.

Defiance was once home to Daniel Boone, who spent his final years in a stately, four-story limestone house over-looking Femme Osage Creek. That house and over a dozen relocated and restored 19th-century buildings called Boonesfield Village are open to the pub-lic, bringing to life the days when Mis-souri was America’s frontier. For details, call 636-798-2005 or visit www.linden-wood.edu/boone.

DutzowMusic will fill the air at Blumenhof Win-

ery on South Highway 94 on Saturdays and Sundays. With its architecture and ambience, the winery’s German heritage is evident. It is located in the historic village of Dutzow, Mis-souri’s oldest German settlement, which was founded in 1832. For more details, visit www.blumenhof.com.

WashingtonWashington, billed as “Heart of Wine

Country,” is less than an hour’s drive from St. Louis on Highway 100 from I-44. Visit the historic river town for shopping, dining or sightseeing.

The German populace began with the arrival of 12 Catholic families in the fall of 1833. Many of the town’s historic structures remain today. Henry Ribbe and his son An-ton helped put Washington on the map as the “Corncob Pipe Capital of the World” when they began making corncob pipes in 1869.

Washington Town & Country Fair will be a highlight of the summer on Aug. 7-11. with

a variety of activities and entertainment for the whole family. This year’s entertainment lineup includes Parmalee, Lynyrd Skynyrd, REO Speedwagon and Justin Moore. The annual fair is just one of events throughout the year. For more information, visit www.washmo.org.

HermannHermann, nestled along the banks of

the Missouri River, is in the center of wine country and is known for its prize-winning wineries. The town, established in 1837 as a German Society settlement, is also a magnet for history lovers. Over 150 buildings in and around downtown are on the National Reg-ister of Historic Places.

BarnhartDown Interstate 55, 25 minutes from

downtown St. Louis, enjoy wine in the out-door setting of Persimmon Ridge Vineyards in Barnhart. The winery features live music on Saturdays and Sundays 2 to 5 p.m. and is open year round.
