In this episode of Big Blend Radio's "Travel with Terri" Show, travel writer Terri Guthrie takes us on a journey through the heart of Missouri, focusing on the vibrant city of Springfield, famously known as the birthplace of Route 66. Join us as we explore the rich history of America's Mother Road, celebrate the annual vintage car festival, and reminisce about cherished family road trips to destinations like Branson.
We dive into the must-see attractions, from the massive, original Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World and the highly-rated Wonders of Wildlife National Museum and Aquarium, to the natural wonders of the "Cave State," where you can take a unique ride-through tour at Fantastic Caverns. Finally, we uncover Springfield's surprising and diverse culinary scene, including the exceptional dining at Hotel Vandivort. It's an episode packed with history, nature, and adventure!
