When you land
Things to do in Jefferson City
Jefferson City is Missouri’s capital, set on bluffs above the Missouri River in the middle of the state. State government is by far the largest employer, and lawmakers, lobbyists, agency staff and attorneys keep the city busy, especially while the General Assembly is in session from January to May. The domed Missouri State Capitol dominates the skyline, and its interior is known for murals by Thomas Hart Benton and N. C. Wyeth. Lincoln University, founded by Black Civil War veterans, and a manufacturing and insurance base round out the economy.
