Reviews of Kaskaskia Bell State Memorial
"Near Saint Mary Missouri. It's weird traveling to the state of Illinois and not seeing or crossing the Mississippi River. Google Maps says this is located in Chester Illinois, but don't plot your route to Chester. Plot route to Kaskaskia Bell State Memorial. The only thing I can think of is that perhaps this place is an island or something. It's unique for sure. It has several brick and morter structures and an old church. No amenities or public facilities available at this location."
"Seems to be in the middle of nowhere, but if you know history this place is full of it. Only if the bell could talk haha. George Rogers Clark is one of the the most underrated revolutionary officers."
"The location of Illinois first capital until it flooded. The church has been moved 3 times due to flooding. Very interesting history lesson. Grandkids enjoyed learning about the history of their home state!!"
"Fun place to check out if you are a history buff. Lots of local history right here. It’s free by the way. A good place to take your kids and have a picnic!"
"Definitely off the beaten path to get here. Located in Kaskaskia, which is an Illinois enclave on the Missouri side of the Mississippi. That alone was worth the experience for me, but it was fun to say I saw the Liberty Bell of the West. Not much else to talk about around here. It's a mostly barren old town that, I assume due to multiple heavy floods, drove everyone but a few farmers to higher ground. The streets around here are still organized in a grid, just only a handful of actual buildings on them. The church next door is exceptionally pretty for the area."
