Both the 13 mile
and the 26 mile routes
start at the historic train Depot in
downtown Sikeston and move through town
passing by shaded, tree-lines streets with
majestic homes. Leaving town, you
travel along fields of cotton, as well as
soybeans & corn. The 26 mile route
takes you by two working cotton gins.
One gin will offer free tours for the
