Last night, the Gerald Development Association attended the City Meeting to propose the Rock Island Visitors Center. Photos below are from the presentation put together by Otis Schulte, Kathy Foy, and other members of the GDA. Information below is provided by the GDA and https://rockislandvisitorcenter.com/ .
Working together as a community, at our Rock Island Visitor Center, we invite visitors to stop in Gerald and participate in our Midwest hospitality and activities, thereby building a more vibrant and prosperous community.
As a non-profit, our mission is to promote tourism in the Gerald community, encouraging visitors to stop in Gerald and enjoy our local businesses and industry.
As a HUB, we host interactive exhibits of activities within a 50 mile radius, between the Missouri and Meramec Rivers, celebrating our rural, farming, and railroad heritage. We are a member of the Missouri River Valley Loop.
The Visitor Center has plans to host a Made in Missouri Gift Shop, Community Center, Ice Cream Shop, Train Museum, and so much more. See more information at https://rockislandvisitorcenter.com/ .
