SUMMARY:Guided Bison Saunter
DESCRIPTION:2/7/2026 | Prairie State Park | Mindenmines\, MO\nPrairie State Park will host a guided bison saunter starting at the Regal Tallgrass Prairie Nature Center at 1 p.m. \n“What is a saunter?” you say? According to Merriam-Webster\, “saunter” means “to walk about in an idle or leisurely manner : STROLL” (that is\, to walk at a slower pace to take in all the surroundings). That sounds better than a hike. Come out and get that “prairie feeling” from centuries past\, and while you are at it\, get some exercise. Prairie State Park encompasses almost 4\,000 acres of tallgrass prairie\, which once covered 33% of Missouri. Now\, less than half of 1% remains. \nWinter is here\, and the bison are ready for its biting winds and bitter cold. We will brave the conditions to see the bison in their natural habitat. Visitors should be prepared for a 2-mile saunter over uneven terrain. Participants are encouraged to bring water\, snacks and binoculars and wear sturdy shoes and a hat. February weather can be unpredictable and windy; please dress accordingly. \nDue to the unique and rare diversity of life preserved at Prairie State Park\, pets are not allowed on park trails\, EXCEPT for Path of the Earth People and Path of the Sky People. Bison graze freely in the park\, and this regulation protects both you and your pet. You are welcome to bring your pet to the park’s campground and picnic area\, but you must follow Missouri State Parks’ pet rules. This applies to all types of pets except service animals assisting people with disabilities. \nThis event is free and open to the public. However\, registration is required\, and there is a limit of 30 participants. To register\, call the park office at 417-843-6711. \nEvent time: 1 p.m. – 3 p.m.\nTo see more events like this\, please visit our guided hikes page. \nPrairie State Park is located at: \n128 NW 150th Lane\, Mindenmines\, MO | 417-843-6711 \n

SUMMARY:Landing After Hours: Salt: The Mineral that Sustains Us
DESCRIPTION:2/4/2026 | Missouri State Museum/Jefferson Landing State Historic Site | Jefferson City\, MO.\nThroughout history\, salt has been linked to fertility\, longevity\, loyalty and protection. Salt is essential for cell function and is found in almost every part of the human body. Sources of salt have spurred the growth of settlements\, including some in Missouri. Numerous saline springs north of the Missouri River attracted settlers moving westward from St. Charles on the Boone’s Lick Trail. \nJoin Lydia Peifer\, the museum’s education and outreach interpreter\, as she traces salt’s impact on global and local history. We will explore salt production\, the various types of salt and their uses\, and how salt has influenced food and language. \nThis program is part of the Missouri State Museum’s Landing After Hours series. This series is held the first Wednesday of each month at Jefferson Landing State Historic Site. Doors to the site’s Lohman Building open at 6:30 p.m.\, and the program begins at 7 p.m. Convenient parking is available in the lot next to the Lohman Building\, located at 100 Jefferson St. \nThe program will also be livestreamed on the Missouri State Museum’s Facebook page. Did you know that you don’t have to have a Facebook account to view Facebook videos or live programs? Simply follow the link and enjoy. \nFor more information about this free program\, call the museum at 573-751-2854. \nProgram Time: 7 p.m. – 8 p.m. | Doors Open: 6:30 p.m.\nProgram Location:\n\nIn person: Lohman Building\, Jefferson Landing State Historic Site\, 100 Jefferson St.\, Jefferson City\nVirtual: Missouri State Museum Facebook page\n\n

SUMMARY:Guided Bison Saunter
DESCRIPTION:1/3/2026 | Prairie State Park | Mindenmines\, MO\nPrairie State Park will host a guided bison saunter starting at the Regal Tallgrass Prairie Nature Center at 1 p.m. \n“What is a saunter?” you say? According to Merriam-Webster\, “saunter” means “to walk about in an idle or leisurely manner : STROLL” (that is\, to walk at a slower pace to take in all the surroundings). That sounds better than a hike. Come out and get that “prairie feeling” from centuries past\, and while you are at it\, get some exercise. Prairie State Park encompasses almost 4\,000 acres of tallgrass prairie\, which once covered 33% of Missouri. Now\, less than half of 1% remains. \nWinter is here\, and the bison are ready for its biting winds and bitter cold. We will brave the conditions to see the bison in their natural habitat. Visitors should be prepared for a 2-mile saunter over uneven terrain. Participants are encouraged to bring water\, snacks and binoculars and wear sturdy shoes and a hat. January weather can be unpredictable and windy; please dress accordingly. \nDue to the unique and rare diversity of life preserved at Prairie State Park\, pets are not allowed on park trails\, EXCEPT for Path of the Earth People and Path of the Sky People. Bison graze freely in the park\, and this regulation protects both you and your pet. You are welcome to bring your pet to the park’s campground and picnic area\, but you must follow Missouri State Parks’ pet rules. This applies to all types of pets except service animals assisting people with disabilities. \nThis event is free and open to the public. However\, registration is required\, and there is a limit of 30 participants. To register\, call the park office at 417-843-6711. \nEvent time: 1 p.m. – 3 p.m.\nTo see more events like this\, please visit our guided hikes page. \nPrairie State Park is located at: \n128 NW 150th Lane\, Mindenmines\, MO | 417-843-6711
