Little Dixie Highway of the Great River Road

Byway provides a opportunity to visit some of Missouri's historical districts and to get a feel for the Old South through the area's Victorian-era streetscapes and plantation-era mansions. Areas of interest include: the Clarksville Historic District, Georgia Street Historic District in the city of Louisiana; and the 6,705-acre Ted Shanks Conservation Area.
