See for nearly 20 miles across the river into Illinois, watch riverboats and barges travel up and down the river, or get an amazing view of the Brand New Champ Clark Bridge (Photos coming soon) or Railroad bridge. Not only is this an amazing location but one that is a favorite for weddings.

Riverview Cemetery
300 Block of Nebraska Street, Louisiana
Riverview Cemetery contains more than 14,000 graves with many of those dating back to the early 1800’s. Notable people laid to rest there include Missouri Governor Lloyd Stark, the 2nd Governor of Indiana Radcliff Boon and many other. But even with all the history, it may actually be the view that is truly amazing. Driving to the top of the cemetery reveals a breathtaking view of the Mississippi in one direction and a birds-eye view of Louisiana in another.
For over 20 years, John has been capturing the history of Missouri and other notable sites in America in extremely detailed pen, ink, and watercolor. Over 300 drawings make up the two main bodies of work: “The Heartland Collection” and “Reflections of Missouri.” These drawings along with many others are available for viewing and purchasing at his studio, located in one of the oldest buildings in the community.
Hours Open Daily: 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Summer hours may differ.
Set on approximately 20 acres, the sculpture part is within 350 acres of natural meadows, wooded rolling hills, lakes and streams. A well-maintained path takes guests on a 40-minute walk through a maple grove, the McElwee Cemetery and most importantly, a plethora of sculptures.
Hours April to December: Thursday - Sunday 10 a.m. - dusk
The museum is located right in the downtown historic district. The many artifacts housed in the museum date back from the early days of the town including artifacts from the world renowned Stark Bro's Nursery. Admission to the Museum is free but donations are always accepted.

Mesker buildings
Downtown Louisiana
Pieces of Louisiana’s early days are, once again, apparent in downtown Louisiana with the return of the Mesker facades. The designs, which use stamped metal and cast iron to create beautiful storefronts, disappeared for many years due to modernization. However, in recent years those hidden facades have been uncovered to reveal a downtown full of Mesker buildings. In fact, Louisiana ranks 6th in the country for the largest amount of existing Mesker buildings.
Georgia Street, Main Street, Third Street, Louisiana
For a small community Louisiana certainly has its fair share of historic buildings. More than 15 buildings in the downtown area are on the National Registry of Historic Places, with many more dating back to the mid and early 1800’s. Take a walking tour of the two historic districts and see for yourself what makes Louisiana’s historic homes so unique.
Walking tour brochures available at the Louisiana Visitors Center
Those who enjoy historic properties will certain want to see the Railway bridge in Louisiana. One of the first six bridges built across the Mississippi, the railroad bridge was built in 1873 at the cost of $685,000. Today, the trust swing bridge is one of only two remaining of its type on the Mississippi River. The bridge is 2,053 feet long and sits 16 feet above the water. It was rebuilt in 1893 and again in 1945.
