About
Visitor Center
Start your Boonville adventure at the Visitor Center and free River, Rails & Trails Museum, ran by the Tourism Department for the City of Boonville. Located in the Depot District right next to the Katy Trailhead, the Visitor Center is housed in a restored historic grocery wholesaler warehouse building.
While at the Visitor Center, you can experience Boonville’s transportation history at the very kid friendly and free River, Rails, & Trails Museum in the same building. If you are looking for information, maps, area attractions and souvenirs on the area, the Visitor Center is a great place to start. If you are interested in touring the Mitchell Antique Motorcar Museum, this is where you arrange a tour and get your tickets. For cyclists off the trail, it is a perfect stop to fill up your water, make a quick fix on their bike, use the restroom or find a Katy Trail souvenir.
