missouri wall of fame

The flood wall in downtown Cape has beautiful murals painted on both sides of the wall. They tell a good overview of Missouri and Cape history. Always enjoy taking visitors here for a stroll and history lesson.

We love downtown Cape and the murals are just amazing to see. I love that it gives a history about the area.

Visited the wall with out of town relatives. It felt good to point out all the great names from Missouri

We had never been to Cape Girardeau MO so we were pleasantly surprised when we came upon the Missouri Wall of Fame. It was very informative, interesting, and pleasing to the eye. We enjoyed being up close to the Mississippi River and watching barges going each direction. It was a nice day and we could walk along the river on the walkway along the wall. That area of town is well kept also, with beautiful old buildings and clean and neat streets and sidewalks. We would definitely go back! We were actually impressed with all of Cape Girardeau that we visited.

If you are in Cape Girardeau, this is something you don't want to miss. The paintings and history are quite good and it dresses up the levee wall.

Walk along the Mississippi River and learn some interesting facts about the history of Cape Girardeau Missouri. Excellent artwork painted on the flood wall takes you back in time, with individual plaques (audio is also available) explaining details of our rich history on the river.

Always enjoy taking a little trip along the Wall, reliving some of the historic moments that took place here. Great job!

Cape GIradeau had to defend itself from Mississippi floods and so built a concrete wall which blocked out views of the river. So what to do? They commissioned a series of murals that show the history of the city and famous people either born in MIssouri or with a very strong connection with the state. It's certainly worth seeing.

Been to see this multiple times very informative and some interactive options. Generally clean and occasional graffiti on signs along walkway but usually does not last long. One trip I saw graffiti on Monday and Wednesday I went back and it was gone probably kids playing pranks.

The wall features murals of the city's history from early Native inhabitants to more recent times. It also has another section dedicated to famous people from Missouri. It's worth of look if you are heading to the downtown area. It's also on a flood wall, which is also an important part of the city's heritage.

Really enjoyed the wall murals. Surprised by some of the Missouri folks included because I didn't realize they were from Missouri.

The whole Riverfront area is worth a visit. The history of Missouri/Cape Girardeau and the Wall of Fame are nice improvements to the flood wall.

The Missouri Wall of Fame in Cape Girardeau, MO is an eye opening bit of history. So many famous people came from MO. So many will surprise you! The paintings are beautiful and worth a look even if you aren't interested in the characters so fantastically displayed. I am especially grateful that someone took the effort to make a flood barrier wall a historical artifact. Absolutely though provoking and education as well.

My husband and I were visiting Cape Girardeau for the first time and as it was during the winter some of the places we wanted to see were closed. I remembered seeing the wall of fame on TripAdvisor so thought we would check it out. We are very glad that we did. The wall is organized by catagory (sports, cinema etc) and in front of each area/catagory there is a marker offering more description and further explanation on the murals. Also if you go further down the wall there is the continuation of murals showing River Life. Very nice.
