Capital CountryA field guide to Jefferson City, Missouri

About Capital Country

Capital Country is an independent visitor's guide to Jefferson City, Missouri: the Capitol, the old state penitentiary, the river and the trails, and the practical detail that makes a short visit work.

What it is not

Capital Country is not a radio station, not a tourism office and not connected to any broadcaster, any business named here or the State of Missouri. Nobody pays to be included, and nothing on the site is sponsored.

How the guides are written

Each guide is written to answer the questions a visitor actually has: how long a place takes, when to go, what to book and how it fits with the rest of the day. The editorial policy explains how pages are checked and kept up to date.
