    The city of Cape Girardeau is an old town with lots of history.  The settlement of Girardeau is said to date from 1793 when the Spanish government, which had acquired Louisiana in 1764 following the French defeat in the Seven Years' War, granted Louis Lorimier, a French-Canadian, the right to establish a trading post.  There are many historic sights to see such as a fort from the civil war, the Glenn House, an old cemetery and much more.  If you like to play hard and party harder you might like to play golf at one of the golf courses, slots at the casino or possibly a wine tasting at one of the local wineries.  Oh and let’s not forget the beauty of the fall foliage.  

    We have 35 spots available at The Landing Point RV Park that will accommodate even the 44 footers.  The park is a 9/9/10 Good Sam park.   To make your park reservation please call 573-334-7878.  Be sure to tell them you are with the SOITC Rally.
