Hi - I am a librarian in St. Louis. I am looking for any elementary level information about the Katy Trail - an interactive website would be great. Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Carolyn Eagle

There is some pretty good stuff on you tube. Some of it I think the kids would enjoy because it pretty funny and informative. Take a look, see if any of this would work for you.

I'd recommend you look up some information on Missouri artist George Caleb Bingham. He and his family moved to Franklin from Virginia in 1819, and he painted in Booneville, Columbia, St. Louis, and internationally. I think he was also a state senator, and the first professor of art at what would become the Univ of Missouri. There is a book out there called Paintbox on the Frontier, that is written for young people detailing the life and times (1820-1860's) of the Luminist scenes he painted in pre Civil War central Missouri. Tons of information on that whole era, Booneville, The Santa Fe Trail, etc.---all things that laid the ground work for the Katy

The best information is a day long trip, by the students, to the Katy Trail, Carolyn. Internet and you tube are overrated.

This website is loaded in my opinion. The map and all the linked resources could be quite helpful....I would think.
