Current Goal

This is Sam the Travel Bug. Sam really wants to visit as many states in the United States as possible. There is an elementary school class in southeast Missouri watching his movement around the country. When you log your visit, please tell us a little about the part of the country where you found Sam. If you've got your camera with you, we'd appreciate a photo of the scenery. Thanks!

About This Item

Sam will be released after school starts in mid-August. The photo used in creating Sam the Travel Bug comes from a Google image search that led to www.rlrouse.com

I dropped Sam off in a cache in Monroe County IL. In order to get to this cache you had to walk through a cemetery. We looked a several the dated back to early 1900's and several were ingraved in German!

At the Janet Huckabee Arkansas River Valley Nature Center, they talk about the early stone work in the area.

The schoolhouse was completed in February 1937, and German POW's built the back porch in 1943. The school was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 29, 2003.
