ROCHEPORT, MISSOURI

 Yesterday we enjoyed driving over to

the tiny town of Rocheport, Missouri

 (less than 300 people) which

is  about

15 miles away:

This is along the Missouri River and 

was once a thriving port when the

Missouri River was the means of

transportation.  Now there are

several Bed and Breakfast there

and a few unique restaurants

and shops.

As one enters town from the south,

gardens burst with color.

Rocheport is known for a

prominent winery and restaurant.

The little main street finds some

very old brick buildings which now

are shops and restaurants.  We enjoyed

a lesson at the History center as well.

 

Our favorite stop was at a shop

bursting with art and beautiful

Victorian antiques.  The couple

are open 3 afternoons a week and he

also is a blacksmith who teaches

classes.
