Arrow Rock State Historic Site
Historic District · Arrow Rock, Missouri
A village of fewer than sixty people on a bluff above the Missouri River, the whole of which is a National Historic Landmark district designated in 1963. It was a jumping-off point for the Santa Fe Trail, the home of the painter George Caleb Bingham, and a working river town that simply stopped growing - which is why the 1830s and 1840s buildings are still standing rather than built over. The state runs the site; the village is still inhabited, and the Lyceum Theatre has run a professional summer season here since 1961.
