While the southern Missouri metropolises of Kansas City
and St. Louis, and travel destinations like Branson and
the Lake of the Ozarks, host millions of new visitors each
year, the northeastern corner of the state has not benefited
proportionately from the burgeoning growth of tourism in the
midwestern region. That realization has inspired the state, the
cities of La Plata and Kirksville, and surrounding counties and
communities to express enthusiastic support of the proposal
to create a major tourist attraction on the outskirts of La Plata.
|
The Silver Rails Resort project conceived in response to
that proposal is a unique assembly of dynamic recreational/educational venues and visitor services, driven by the
railroad history, pastoral landscapes, cultural heritage,
and lifestyles long identified with the area. Not only
does the project optimize this multifaceted spectrum of
characteristics, but it also embraces a substantial number of
northeastern Missouri legacy sites as integral to the overall
visitor experience.
