This page is about my home....Missouri.

Missouri is located in the middle of the United States of America. It is surrounded by the states of Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Illinois.

We have 114 counties. Kansas City is in the west and St. Louis in the east. The capitol of Missouri is located in Jefferson City which sits in the middle of the state on the Missouri River. The Mississippi River makes up our eastern border.

The Capitol Building faces the Missouri River. Most photos of our capitol are taken from the back which faces High Street.

Missouri is filled with lakes, rivers and forests. We have farmland and large cities. We have historic sites and amusement parks. We have the St. Louis Zoo and Jesse James' hideout. We have many caves.

I have visited several states but I have never found anywhere as beautiful as Missouri. I will always call Missouri my home.

The music you are hearing is The Missouri Waltz, our State Song.
