Why you should go…
Perryville, the seat of Perry County in southeast Missouri, grew around German and French Catholic settlement and still centers on that heritage, including a historic basilica and seminary buildings near the town square. The compact downtown and surrounding countryside make it an easy stop for travelers on I-55 between St. Louis and Cape Girardeau.
