The Cape River Heritage Museum is opening their doors for their 2018 season, and in this museum, housed in a former firehouse and police station, you can learn all about life in Cape Girardeau. Colorful wall-sized paintings illustrate what Cape Rock looked like when the Mississippian people lived on the banks of the river and what our riverfront looked like just a few hundred years later in the age of the steamboat. Particular attention has been paid to the Girardots, the very first settlers of our river town, and they come to life dressed in historically accurate clothings lovingly sewn by museum volunteers. Other exhibits include information on what life during World War II was like in Cape Girardeau, including spotlights on the first local men to enlist and ration books. Exhibits are refreshed every year, so make sure to add this special spot to your springtime list!
