Missouri is a great state to get outdoors, but it also has a lot of interesting urban sights to see and a lot of roadside oddities that make it one interesting place to visit.

56. Danna’s BBQ (Branson)

This place is known for it’s made from scratch old fashioned barbeque. All three locations are family owned and have a laid back vibe. The smoke all their meet and make their own rubs and sauces, which you can buy bottled to recreate your experience at home. Have lunch or dinner at Danna’s, you won’t be disappointed.

57. Johnson’s Shut Ins State Park (Middle Brook)

This is a gorgeous state park that truly has something for everyone: hiking, horseback riding, play grounds, camping, cycling, fishing, swimming, rock climbing, and more. It’s located in the East Fork of the Black River and is a great place to spend a day in the Ozarks.

58. Welch Spring Hospital Ruins (Jadwin)

This is one of the most unique landscapes you’ll see in a national park. Located in the Ozarks, this was once the home of a hospital build by a doctor who believed the spring had healing properties. By today’s standards, this would be termed a “health spa,” not a hospital. The spring was dammed so that water would flow into the building. It was not a success, thanks in part to it’s being very hard to access. The building still stands today. It can be viewed by trail and visited by canoe. If you want a cool photo op, spend an hour or so getting to this abandoned relic.

59. Parsimonia (St Louis)

What started as an online vintage clothing store in 2010 grew to a mobile shop and then to a boutique in the South Grande Business District of downtown St Louis. They love mixing vintage with modern and still bring out their 1960s travel trailer named Holly occasionally for events around the city. Stop by the shop for an hour to look for the perfect purse to make your outfit truly you.

60. Ozark Spooklight (Joplin)

The mysterious glowing light has been seen by residents going back to 1881, possibly earlier. There are a lot of legends behind what this could be: the torch of a beheaded indian, the spirits of star crossed lovers who committed suicide. Getting there is a little tricky, but if you’re into the paranormal, it’s worth setting aside and evening to scope it out.
