Time travel not necessary to see Daniel Boone home

Michelle Turner8 months ago01 mins

Tucked away in the rolling hills north of the Missouri River in St. Charles County is the perfect opportunity to experience history without the help of time travel.  Unlike in “Back to the Future,” there’s no need for a plutonium-powered DeLorean to catch a glimpse of life in the early 1800s.  To do so, you…

Whetstone Conservation Area offers visitors great experiences

Michelle Turner11 months ago01 mins

Michelle Turner Spring is associated with renewal and birth. I find it fitting that this spring I often find myself hitting the interstate for Columbia, Mo., to see my cousin’s new baby boy, Jackson.  Each time I see him is a new experience as he grows and develops.  As much as I enjoy our visits,…
