Alton is as close to St Louis for us to put the boat while we explored the surrounding areas. The town it self is fascinating with a bit of history.

It’s considered haunted so we went on a ghost walk to the old prison. All that remains of the prison is the wall. We also passed the grain silos where there were markers of the water height from previous floods.

There was a nice museum and tour of the lock nearby that had a tug simulator. Boris and Michael really enjoyed that one.Read more
