Winston Churchill once said “No hour of life is wasted that is spent the Callaway.”

OK, we made that up he actually said “in the saddle.” But Sir Winston would have been right either way. Eat, drink, be merry, be serious, go shopping, go back in time, learn things…it’s all right here in Callaway County.

Be Merry

For an eating, drinking and being merry attraction, you just can’t beat Fulton’s downtown Brick District. Enjoy locally owned boutiques, eateries and treateries, or relaxing cocktail spots. The Brick District Playhouse, a renovated 1920s theatre, is downtown’s cultural anchor. 613 Court St, Fulton, 573-342-3388

Drink

Serenity Valley Winery (1888 County Road 342, Fulton, 573-642-6958), Canterbury Hill Winery & Restaurant (1707 S Summit Dr, 573-896-9966), and Elderblossom View (208 County Road 3978, New Bloomfield, 573-268-8597) provide tranquil atmospheres with spectacular views. Don’t miss sampling some boozy slushies at The Station, Fulton’s newest cocktail joint, known for their amazing variety of frozen concoctions and large patio (524 Court St, Fulton, 573-890-2669).

Be Serious

Celebrate

Celebrate: Enjoy the coolest events in Callaway County year-round like Renaissance Festivals, Fulton Street Fair, Morels & Microbrews, Mokane “Worlds Fair,” and so much more. Check out the full calendar at VisitFulton.com

Go Back In Time

Without the automobile, we wouldn’t have had the suburbs, family vacations, or the Delorean time machine in “Back to the Future.” Explore automotive history at the Auto World Museum in Fulton. Yes, there’s a Delorean, as well as a 1909 Model T, a 1931 Rolls Royce Phantom, a 1963 Corvette Stingray and so much more. 200 Peacock Dr, Fulton, 573-642-2080

Pay homage to brave Missouri firefighters who gave the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty at the Fire Fighters Memorial. In 2001, a statue commissioned for this memorial had just arrived in port from Italy. The Fire Fighters Association of Missouri donated that statue to New York City in honor of the heroes from the September 11 attack on the World Trade Center. A replacement statue is now on display. 5550 Dunn Dr, Kingdom City, 660-415-7990

Learn Things

We started out talking about Churchill, and there is no better place to end than America’s National Churchill Museum. During World War II, Churchill’s oratory carried England through its darkest days, from Dunkirk to the fall of Nazi Germany. Explore his extraordinary life, including his highest and lowest moments, and his famous visit to Fulton in 1946. 501 Westminster Ave, Fulton, 573-592-5369
