Cole County, Missouri
Jefferson City, the state capital, sits right in the heart of Cole County. This place has been Missouri’s seat of government since 1826. The impressive Capitol building dominates the skyline, its dome visible for miles.
Cole County is in the middle of the state, straddling the Missouri River. It’s not all politics here though. Locals love to hike the Katy Trail on weekends.
As you exit the urban areas, farm fields give way to city streets. Come here to enjoy the crisp air and high school football games under Friday night lights.
