National Missouri Day
NATIONAL MISSOURI DAY
National Missouri Day 2020 |
National Missouri Day is celebrated every January 4 to mark the joining of Missouri as the 24th state in the union. Missouri is known as the path to the West and nicknamed as the Show-Me State, Missouri is bordered by two great rivers: Mississippi on its eastern border and Missouri River for a portion of its western border. As a result, Missouri is ideally settled as a hub of transportation and trade. Statehood came as part of the Missouri Compromise allowing Maine to enter the union as a free state and Missouri to enter with no restrictions on slavery. During the warfare, Missouri was divided and sent men to fight for each the north and also the south. The state boasts many cultural attractions from riverboat cruises to music festivals and tours of the largest brewing company in the nation.

Missouri offers an incredible spectrum of places to visit that locals as well as tourists try visiting as a part of the celebration of National Missouri Day. Located in Kansas City, Missouri, The National World War I Museum and Memorial has been open to the public since 1926, and tells the story of WWI and corresponding events spanning from before 1914 to the 1919 Paris Peace Conference. Even the entrance teaches you something: as you walk over the glass bridge, below you will see a field of 9,000 red poppies, each one symbolizing 1,000 combatant deaths from the War. Also, located in the northern part of the Ozark Mountains in central Missouri, The Lake of the Ozarks is a large reservoir created by the impoundment of the Osage River and its tributaries. The slow, lazy curves of the lake have given it the name "The Magic Dragon" and it was one of the largest man-made lakes when it was created in 1931, presently changing into a vacation destination thanks to its picturesque background and watersports attractions.
All in all, Missouri is a state of rich culture,
history as well as new-age entertainment. The National Missouri Day is all
about enriching this culture and traditions as well as promoting tourism for
the state to new spreads and horizon.
