Situated in the southwestern corner of Missouri,
the city of Joplin showcases its mining history through their activities, events
and attractions. Festivals such as Boomtown
Days pay tribute to the many mining camps once present through an eclectic
mix of musical artists, food vendors and children's activities, while Airfest
displays high-flying planes every odd year at the end of June. A few of Joplin's
buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, two of them
being the Elks
Club Lodge 501 and the Scottish
Rite Cathedral. A detailed history of Joplin can be viewed at the Everett
J. Ritchie Mining Museum, which has a huge display of minerals and a replica
of an old mineshaft. Visitors should head south of Joplin to Shoal Creek and
witness the state's largest waterfall, Grand
Falls, that plunges over 25 feet. Other attractions such as the Reptile
World Zoo, Route
66 Carousel Park, Ewert
Water Park and Lazer
City provide entertainment for all family members throughout the year.
