This one took awhile since we didn't know which direction to look on the trail. Turns out you have to walk south from the parking area.
Located along the Saint Louis Riverfront Trail, Mary Meachum Freedom Crossing marks the spot where a small group of runaway slaves and their guides crossed the Mississippi in an attempt to reach a freedom route through Illinois on May 21, 1855. The area is marked with a sign and colorful mural today.
