Jefferson Barracks Park — Attraction in Lemay

After spending time with them, we visited the Powder Magazine museum (which focuses on WW-II) and the Civil War museum.

These museums are first class and well worth the trip. The Civil War museum has a small cost, but the WW-II museum asks for voluntary donations.

Jefferson Barracks is a real local treasure even if you're not a military or...

Please remember when leaving comments about this CEMETERY that it is in fact a CEMETERY and SOLDIERS are BURIED HERE and their loved ones can read your VERY INSENSITIVE COMMENTS ABOUT BATHROOMS AND PLAYGROUNDS, I’m so disgusted my baby brother gave his life to be a doctor in the navy, fought with the marines in Iraq and Fallujah FOR YOU TO COMPLAIN ABOUT PLAYGROUNDS AT HIS CEMETERY. THANK YOU ALL. This is what society has become today; you can’t even see the dead people lying in the ground right in front of your face! Your kid needs their playground! How dare you teach them about all of the lives lost in all of the battles through all of the years!?! How dare you teach them to appreciate another humans life, we don’t do that anymore. Where’s the playground? His name is Dan, we called...
