Jefferson City’s history can be studied through various works of art showcased throughout the city. The Missouri State Capitol boasts some of the finest collections including the famous Thomas Hart Benton murals in the House Lounge and Three Point Perspective paintings scattered in the hallways. Local galleries aim to inspire artistic expression with exquisite exhibits. For a bleak perspective, visit the Missouri State Penitentiary Museum to see original artwork and paintings by talented inmates, then take a tour of the decommissioned prison for a glimpse of the penitentiary’s grisly past. Catch a classic at downtown’s intimate cinema or spend summer nights dancing in the streets or watching flicks on the capitol lawn. Whether seeking a fun night out with friends or creating colorful memories with family,

numerous venues offer live music, painting classes, comedy shows and more. “A little

rebellion now and then is a good thing.”

– Thomas Jefferson

Jefferson City’s allure is not limited to its sturdy brick homes and storefronts from the last century. Explore beautiful parks, scenic waterways, and numerous trails offering a multitude of adventures. The Greenway, an extensive system of walking and biking paths, allows easy access to various neighborhoods. The addition of a pedestrian/bike path along the Missouri River Bridge connects the city to the state’s most popular outdoor tourist attraction, the Katy Trail. Just south of the trail explore the Bill Quigg Commons and River City Gardens, or grab your fishing pole and head to Binder Park Lake. Rejuvenate with a trip to a renowned spa and yoga class, or enjoy a round of golf on one of the city’s perfectly manicured courses, including the country’s only handicap accessible nine hole, par three course. Central Missouri’s sole ice skating rink offers public skating sessions, and during the summer months a large aquatic center invites the whole family to race down waterslides or maneuver across giant lily pads.

Visitor Information Bike Plaza

WelcomeIn 1821, a centrally located site along the bluffs of the majestic Missouri River was chosen as the state capital and named the City of Jefferson. Commonly referred to today as Jefferson City, the capital’s beauty shines not only through its natural landscape, but through the many historic buildings and special landmarks. The Missouri State Capitol, Governor’s Mansion and Missouri State Penitentiary are just a few of the architectural treasures that anchor this unique community, a real gem tucked away in the heart of the nation. The patterned tree-lined streets of Downtown are full of boutiques and unique retailers, while surrounding areas showcase casual storefronts and antique outlets. Sidewalk cafes with mouthwatering dishes present a taste of the city’s cultural identity while rich aromas from locally-owned coffee shops invite you to sit and enjoy the scenery. Welcome to the city Rand McNally named “America’s Most Beautiful Small Town!”
