Kentucky Christian University's Young Library Great River Road Virtual Vacation

Drive along the Mississippi River, visiting 10 different states! Explore famous locations, people, food, and music!

Welcome to our Great Mississippi River Road Vacation!

Welcome to our November Virtual Vacation sponsored by Kentucky Christian University's Young Library!  This month we will be exploring one of America's longest and oldest National Scenic Byways, The Great River Road.  This road runs along the side of the Mississippi River and goes through 10 states - Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Louisiana. We hope you enjoy exploring the history, the food, the people, and the beauty of this area.

You can visit every state, or pick out just one to explore. If you are from one of these states, you can share it with others so that they can experience the richness of the state where you were born. Feel free to provide the link to any and all family and friends.  All of our suggestions will be free and the links can be shared with others both on and off campus.  However, if you find something you enjoy, explore the internet for similar activities and resources.  We would be happy to help you find things of interest.  We will begin in Minnesota while the weather is still good and move south to the warmer states.  Let's hit the road!

 

We hope that you enjoy this and encourage you to contact us on Facebook or Twitter and let us know how your vacation is going!
