We had a really nice weekend in Jefferson City. Our cross-country guidebook was pretty dismissive of Jefferson City, writing it off as an oddly slow state capital. This was not our experience at all. There is a compact little downtown, that feels like small town America, but which has all the amenities you might want. The dominant feature is the state capitol building that looks like a mini US Capitol.
There was a terrific weekend-long July 4 celebration around the capitol building, with 3 bandstands, rides and amusements, various displays and a beer garden. And night time fireworks, of course. We had a memorable Independence Day here.
Though we didn't have time to go there, the City is also not too far from the Lake of the Ozarks, a huge lake and big resort area.
We would stay here again if we were ever in the area.
