My friend and I went to Jerome Missouri for one of those get away moments recently. My Mother, who was an earthen angel, had just passed away and I badly needed to get away for few hours. I sell real estate, and I had a few hours that I could get away, which is not always the case.
At Jerome we went only a short distance to find Larry Baggett’s Trail of Tears. The Trail of Tears features some very unusual stone work and archways. Larry’s place (currently not open) honors the 1837-1838 forced migration of the Cherokee Indians and their painful journey along the Trail of Tears from the southeast United States into Oklahoma. The actual path of the Trail of Tears crosses the property, where Larry had built a stone wall. He would often be awakened at night by knocks on his door. A spirit visited Larry and asked him to build stairs so the Cherokee Spirits could get over the wall. Once Larry built the stairs at the wall, the knocking stopped. Larry passed away in 2003.
Highway 44 west of St Louis offers many other interesting sights within a short distance. Sections of Highway 66 parallel Highway 44 in many different areas. A great book is Images of 66 by David Wickline.
