It was fun but more than half of the park is outside and it was a quite hot. I recommend visiting in the Spring or Fall when the weather is nice. Because we came on a weekday, the crowds were very manageable. Sadly, in my opinion, too many of the outdoor exhibits were closed or under renovation. My 20 month old enjoyed looking at the cars and tractors and rode in the stroller almost the whole time. I would say this museum is good for ages 3 and up (probably why under 3 has free admission!) We started inside and then explored the outdoor grounds, which were very spacious and clean. We also ate at the cafe, which was ok but in my opinion had low food quality as the corn dogs were undercooked and was a bit expensive for its quality of food. There are many add ons to your experience that we didn't do this time because we didn't think they would be great for our toddler (earthquake simulator, movie, 3D show, observation deck). We enjoyed the park overall but we were expecting more of the exhibits indoors.

These weren't just tremors. These were landscape-altering events that rang church bells on the East Coast, reversed the flow of the Mississippi River and reshaped entire communities. Having visited the Quake Museum in New Zealand not to long ago, I appreciated how different the experience is when you're dealing with events that happened two centuries earlier, before seismology existed and before anyone understood what was happening beneath their feet. Back in those days, they truly had no idea. The museum isn't only about the earthquake. There is a surprisingly rich collection of regional history covering prohibition, local World War I and II, and the everyday life of the people who built and rebuilt this part of Missouri. It's absolutely worth the effort. If you're on I-55 between Saint Louis and Memphis, it's directly on the way. And for travelers like me heading west to east, you might even consider taking the ferry across the Mississippi since the next bridge to the north is 50 miles to Cairo or 40 miles south to Caruthersville. Or, and here's a novel thought, you might consider taking the ferry across at Dorena. The New Madrid Historical Museum is a memorable stop with real depth and I'm so very glad that I finally was able to check it off my list. I do want to add this. The museum is immediately next to the Mississippi River. If it ever floods and breaches the levees, all these treasures might be impacted. Go check this out now.

It covers the gamut of the river's lifetime, all the way back to pre-historic times when the Mississippi River Valley was an ocean. There are a variety of fossils and brief but well-written and informative placards describing everything. Not too wordy, but just enough to get the point across. The next room shows the development of the native (pre-western) cultures and it's really quite fascinating. Then comes the white man and the genocide (they don't say it quite that way). It even gives fair time to the Trail of Tears, including the fact that the Supreme Court ruled against President Jackson and he just ignored them. Then on to the civil war and the post war economic boom. One thing Wanda and I were surprised by is that this area of the Tennessee River is uniquely rich in fresh water mussels and became the main source of fresh water pearls and "pearl" buttons in the US. They would cut round pieces right out of the shells, polish them and turn them into buttons. It was really cool. It doesn't take too long to tour and is well worth the stop. The staff is friendly and the surrounding Savannah historic district makes for a nice walk afterwards with several nice little restaurants.
