Jefferson City, the state capital, features hiking and biking trails along the Missouri River bluffs and unique historic attractions, including the decommissioned Missouri State Penitentiary, which offers tours and a museum, and the state capitol building, which houses the Missouri State Museum and a collection of public art. Nearby, the 1870s-era Governor’s Mansion is one of the few state executive residences in the country that is open to the public for tours, according to VisitJeffersonCity.com.
In the heart of downtown and just a few blocks from the capitol, the 255-room Capitol Plaza Hotel & Convention Center has approximately 22,000 square feet of flexible meeting space, including a ballroom with a capacity of 900 guests.
