Virtual Tour #37 Andrew County, MO
http://www.rootsweb.com/~moandrew

It was probably another cold winter day in February 1837 when
local tribes signed a treaty giving up their rights to land east of
the Missouri River in what is now northwestern Missouri.
Four years later, on a cold January day in 1841, Andrew County
was formally organized from part of this "Platte Purchase". And
before the end of that decade, Andrew County was just north of one
of the hot spots (St. Joseph, MO) for taking off on the Oregon Trail.
And Andrew Co. today? Drop in anytime to look around.
