If you like the painted murals this little city has a number of them.
All along the main street going through town you can see them on the buildings on both sides of the street. But you have to go on the side streets to see some of them. There are all kinds of pictures.
Chillicothe is the "home of sliced bread". In 1928 it was the first to make sliced bread in its bread bakery with an invention from a man in Iowa. Every year they have a "Breadfest" and lots of cooking going on.
The town is located at the junction of Hwy 36 and Hwy 65. Go north on Hwy 36 and watch for the murals.
The city has seven parks and lots of entertainment. There is one little area in the town that has a water fountain, it is the Silver Moon Plaza an area for sitting and enjoying the mural painted on the side of the building there. The windows are painted to look like people are in them. And behind the Silver Moon area is a train painted on another building. Downtown Greenway Park has one of the murals.
When you come into the town from the south on the left is a building with a mural that looks like another street. You have to look close, because it is not a street, it is another mural. Simpson Park has most of the summer traffic because of the aquatic center there.
Grand River Historical Society museum is a great place to find the history of Chillicothe. They have exhibits from the early days including an eight-foot Indian carving. They have many artifacts of early life in the Chillicothe area. The museum has a portion set aside for the military and the clothing that they wore.
How about an old-fashioned soda fountain, they have one that was used in the early 1970's at Horn Drug Store.
There are three RV/campgrounds in the area, full hook-ups to basic tents. Restaurants include Mexican to Chinese and steaks and burgers and fries, pizza and the usual fast food places. With 31 different places you can find something that you like to eat.
The city also has several historic buildings. The 1887 First National Bank, the Martin House Hotel and more.
Take the time to go and visit Chillicothe, MO you will enjoy the city and friendly people and good food at its restaurants.
