Looking for a unique stop during your next Perry County adventure?

Old Appleton Bridge is one of those hidden gems that combines scenic views, rich history, and a peaceful countryside setting. Built in 1879, this historic bridge spans Apple Creek and is the only iron bridge of its kind in Missouri still standing in its original location.

As you explore the area, you'll be walking through a landscape filled with stories. Long before the bridge connected travelers between Perry and Cape Girardeau Counties, Apple Creek was home to one of the largest known Shawnee settlements in Missouri. Even the famous explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark documented visits to the area during their 1804 journey.

Whether you're a history buff, a photographer searching for the perfect shot, or simply someone who enjoys discovering places off the beaten path, the Old Appleton Bridge is worth adding to your Perry County itinerary.

🚗 Take the scenic route, soak in the history, and experience a place where centuries of stories meet.
