Stories

Over the years, the Mississippi River has inspired many wonderful adventures -- and stories about them. Some, like Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, were published. Others are private, known to only a few people.

We've collected some of these private stories for you -- from Minnesota, central Illinois, and Missouri. You'll find people of different ages, from different places, and with different relationships to the river. Listen to them, and then plan your own Mississippi River adventure.
