Rocheport, a relaxed Central Missouri town nestled between St. Louis and Kansas City, is known for its art galleries, antique shops, cozy bed-and-breakfasts, and scenic cycling along the Katy Trail, all set against its rich history as an early 19th-century trading post. Adding to its unique charm is the River Gnome, a meaningful marker right by the Missouri River and the trail.This gnome marks the 1993 High Water Mark of 377 feet from the Great Flood that affected the Midwest, serving as a heartfelt tribute to a local family impacted by the disaster. It stands as a testament to Rocheport’s resilience and its ability to come together and rebuild after tough times.
