Lexington Civil War site and Bonne Terre Mine tour.

Toured the Lexington Civil War site.  





 Medical kit.  Kinda scary!

 House that was used as a hospital by both sides.  Still has damage from the battle.

 Looking at the Missouri river from the battle site.  Battle was for control of the river.






 These few mounds are about all that is left of the battlements that I found.

 Jefferson City capital building


 State Penitentiary. Unfortunately closed for repairs.




 Wardens house








 Bonne Terre mine tour.  I'll be going back tomorrow to go diving in the mine!  The mine has 5 levels, 3 of which are under water.






 "Cave" formations growing


 Old oil can
 Shovel, chain, and rake that have become part of the cave.
