Resources
"...suddenly overnight the steamboats were gone, mortally wounded first by the railroads, then by the trucks and the snorting automobiles and by a world which had no time for leisure."
In this section,
you can find interesting information about the Mississippi River and suggestions
of how to explore the river on your own. The Communities and River Events
areas will help you map the towns and special events along the river.
Don't miss the special sections for parents, children and teachers. You'll find fun activities, lesson plans, ideas for trips, links to Mississippi River resources, and book lists. You can print many of these and take them with you.
