Fulton MO, Westminster College and Winston Churchill Memorial

Our trip this weekend started in Fulton MO. Traveling east on Hwy 54, north of Jefferson City. When we are traveling when I see a sign that states historic site I usually stop to see it. This was the case today.


We stopped to see the old store fronts and brick roads. It is a very old city. It is home to the Winston Churchill Memorial, and Westminster College. Westminster College is opening new campus living quarters the fall of 2010, it is called Westminster Grove. The Winston Churchill museum is located on the college campus and is in the Church of St Mary the Virgin, Aldermanbury. a 12th century church from the middle of London, redesigned by Sir Christopher Wren in 1677, that was relocated to Fulton.

The city has brick streets and the buildings are old and very articulate. They have the First Christian Church that has a unique structure to it. It has a eight sided round top on it. Some of the old homes have older style constructions as well we took some pictures a house that has a round corner to it. The roof looks like a castle turret.

The Camping was great this past weekend. We stayed the first night at Macon MO. Private campgrounds just west of Macon on Hwy 36. It is a very nice place with showers, laundry and restrooms, very clean and quiet. We got there about seven p.m. and the camp host got there about twenty minutes later. He is very friendly and told us what was in the area and where everything was in the campground.
