Remington Nature Center

On a recent trip to St. Joseph, MO, Kevin and I visited the Remington Nature Center.  This is a great place to take the family if you are looking for a day trip or weekend trip.  You'll discover what North American Indians lived in the area, how they lived day-by-day, learn about their culture and see the collection of artifacts.  The artifacts room contains over 1,000 arrowheads, blades and tools.  Take a hike along the Missouri riverbanks, view the nearby Loess Hills Bluffs, identify plants, wildflowers, birds and butterflies.    Stop by the animal tracks display where by the push of a button you can see a variety of animal tracks appear and disappear in the sand.   Although it is hard to believe people walk right the life-sized Wooly Mammoth and baby it is true.  When you enter the front entrance be sure to look around...it is hard to miss!   "Where nature and history collide." www.stjoenaturecenter.info  or 816-271-5499 for info
