Downtown Jefferson City, Missouri

The friendly, reinvigorated Downtown is Jefferson City's soul. The same pioneering spirit embedded in the designs of our downtown historic buildings is alive in the urban entrepreneurism that has emerged in recent years. You can feel the energy and optimism in the patterned sidewalks lined with trees, hanging baskets overflowing with flowers and coordinated lighting and benches. Numerous sidewalk dining venues and coffee shops allow shoppers and workers to linger to enjoy conversation with friends while basking in the sunshine and breeze coming from the Missouri river.
