If you do get to the St Louis area and are interested in the Lewis/Clark -
make a visit to St John's Episcopal Church in Eolia.

They have 2 services a month there - and one of the explorers is buried in
the churchyard. We sang some Sacred Harp there maybe as far back as 10
years ago. It's an hour or a little more north of St Louis.
