The expanded Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield visitor center in Republic, MO is open after being closed for a year and a half for renovations.
The battlefield held a ribbon cutting Friday with Congressman Billy Long and Senator Roy Blunt as speakers.
A musical duo played and cannons were fired just after the ribbon was cut.
Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield superintendent, Sarah Cunningham, explains what the expansion means for the park and its visitors. This is an incredible opportunity to be able to bring additional artifacts on display, she said. These artifacts are the tangible links to the past and help bring it alive and so it s amazing when we can bring things out of storage and have them on display for folks to see.
Wilson S Creek National Battlefield Site Pass
The Battle of Wilson’s Creek on August 10, 1861 was the second major battle of the Civil War, and the first fought west of the Mississippi River. The engagement placed Missouri in the middle of the national conflict and brought the state to national attention with the death of the first Union general, Nathaniel Lyon. The battle and the well-preserved battlefield mark an important but painful milestone in Missouri and U.S. history. Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield features a 5-mile self-guided driving tour, walking trails to key battle sites, and the historic Ray House. The newly renovated Visitor Center and Museum features a collection of artifacts considered to be one of the finest public held museum collections representing the Trans- Mississippi Theater of the American Civil War.

I’m looking for a cannabis-friendly red-leaning state with no state income taxes where should I retire on $60,000 a year? MarketWatch 2/20/2021
Dear MarketWatch,
I’d like to retire in a no (or low) state-income-tax state near water and a state or national park. I want red politics but with (hopefully) legal pot (medical or recreational), and weather that isn’t too cold. I’d compromise on the pot for Texas, if necessary.
I don’t want to be in New Hampshire, Florida or Washington or too close to California.
We’ll have a budget of about $5,000 a month and are selling a house worth $300,000-ish. I’d love a place with a college vibe and affordable food, too. One of the things that seems to be overlooked in these “where to retire” conversations is how much fresh food costs. I am vegetarian so access to fresh fruits and vegetables is super important to me.
