    A trip to Fulton, Missouri is the perfect getaway for visitors interested in history, architecture, outdoor adventures and small town surprises. Located halfway between St. Louis and Kansas, Fulton has been a respite for travelers since traders first traversed the Missouri River.
    Its downtown Brick District features 57 buildings listed on the historic register. Elegant buildings, housing independent shops and restaurants, line shaded brick streets. The Brick District hosts festivals throughout the year.
    This walk goes by the National Churchill Museum, which honors Winston Churchill who traveled with President Harry Truman to deliver his March 5, 1946 speech, “Sinews of Peace.” It became known as the “Iron Curtain Speech” and is considered a harbinger of the Cold War between the US and Soviet Union. The Church of St. Mary the Virgin Aldermanbury was moved from London to Fulton to house the most extensive Churchill collection in North America. Designed by Christopher Wren, St. Mary had stood in London since 1677, until it was hit by incendiary bomb on December 30, 1940. Stone masons, woodcarvers and artisans from around the world helped reconstruct the church between 1964 - 1969. The grounds feature the sculpture Breakthrough, which was carved from sections of the Berlin Wall by Churchill’s granddaughter, Edwina Sandys. President Ronald Reagan dedicated the sculpture, November 9, 1990, 44 years after Churchill had warned of the descending iron curtain. The site has been visited by numerous dignitaries, including Margaret Thatcher and Mikhail Gorbachev.

    This was a very nice video! I had no idea Fulton was so beautiful! But I'm confused about one thing, you obviously had nice weather for your walk, so why weren't there other people outside walking around enjoying this beautiful town and weather?

      Good question! It was a really quiet Sunday morning. Sometimes when I want to focus on just the cool buildings and stuff in a town, I'll go out early on a Sunday morning. Usually most people are still sleeping when I'm walking around on those days.
