4.5Old St.Vincent's Church(11 reviews) - Beautiful historic church Spent 1-2 hours Religious Sites • Churches & Cathedrals
Old St Vincent's Church was part of a tour of Cape Girardeau offered by American Queen Steamboat Company. An older native stone church was built on the site overlooking the Mississippi River in 1838 by a Vincentian priest to replace a temporary church in a warehouse . That church was destroyed in 1850 by a tornado, and a new church in English Gothic Revival style was promptly begun incorporating stone from the destroyed church. Old St. Vincent's is one of only several churches remaining in the U.S. of English Gothic architectural style. A spire was added to the church in 1900 but it was struck by lightning and destroyed by fire in 1905. The present steeple dates from 1912. Restoration of the church was begun in 1977 and went on for 20 years. In 1982 the church was placed on the National Register of Historic Places because of it's historic significance to the area.See more..
4.0Adam-ondi-Ahman(10 reviews) - Great place to visit for LDS history - nice views Spent 1-2 hours Religious Sites
This is a great place for LDS history tours, but before you visit make certain that you have researched the significance of this area. There is very little at the site that tells of why it is significant. It has well-groomed woodland and a very nice view of the Grand River area. You will not run into many people. Make sure that you visit both the overlook and Tower Hill. Walk down the wooded path from Tower Hill into the valley of Adam-Ondi-Ahman.See more..
