Annie and Abel Van Meter State Park

The Missouria Native Americans, who gave their name to the state and river, inhabited this area. The park features remnants of the Missouria village that sat at the Great Bend of the Missouri River. A hand-dug earthwork and several burial mounds lie within the park.

The park’s cultural center showcases the history of Native Americans in Missouri. Campsites, picnic shelters and hiking trails are also available.

The park is located 12 miles northwest of Marshall in Saline County.
