Jefferson Barracks Park

My daughter and I visit every time we go to St Louis. We visit a different area of the Cemetery and pay our respects to the service men and women there. The grounds are so beautifully kept and maintained.

For the archery range, drive to the road google takes you to, walk down the left side trail with Blaze orange and you're good to shoot until you lose all your arrows or pull your shoulder. 20-60 yards, good targets, retrieval is easy. Well maintained and had port-a-john that was serviced daily. Can bring your own targets and hand/pin to big target easily. Never saw a dinosaur but me and my buddy saw 5 doe, 2 bucks that weren't afraid at all. Pretty good spot, we were the only people there

Very interesting historical property, the main barracks are all actively being used so they are off limits to the public and fenced off,but you can see them from a distance through the fence and the rest of the building outside the fence line are either being use to house military personnels or have been turned into a museum and then there's the ones being restored and worked on for historical preservation as they have been doing through the years with all the structures that are still standing,there's parks and walking trails around it and is a huge property so plan to do a lot of walking and driving to check it all out, well maintained by the grounds keepers,a must to go see to explore military history or just a nice place to go for a group gathering at one of the pavilions.

Take my dog to walk here 4-5 times a week, great place for nature and the walking trail has a good variety of inclines amd declines.

Such a beautiful area. Historically rich and if you're into amazing architecture, then you need to pay this place a visit.
