This once thriving port along the Mississippi River - dubbed Gateway to the West - has numerous sights to offer - a change from the the lacklustre sightseeing scene at Kansas.
On a sunny Saturday afternoon, the daffodils have made their first appearance, reminding me of Spring time in the UK.
The Courthouse is an interesting architectural landmark. Here, an African American couple Dred and Harriet Scott sued for their freedom from their slave master in 1847. It was not until 1857 that the Scotts won their freedom, but it was not from the Supreme Court - they were sold back to the original owner for $1, who then gave the couple their freedom.
