About Jefferson City, MO

Jefferson City, Missouri's capital since 1826, sits on the Missouri River in the state's center.

The imposing State Capitol dominates the skyline, but the old Missouri State Penitentiary's stone walls along the riverfront tell a grittier story of the city's 200-year history.
