This place reminded me so much of an Earthbound Trading Store and I had a lot of great down-to-earth items and incense to buy namely. They have a huge collection of rocks as well for those who are interested. Store here was really large too compared to all the other stores. Overall, I recommend checking this place out when you get a chance.

The general John a Logan Museum is completely devoted to general Logan and his political pursuits,…read morefamily and the Civil War forward. The museum is on the property for Logan's family farm and surrounded by homes built in the 1880s and 90s. If you're a history buff this is a must stop, a little gem .

They are working on a GAR room but it wasn't set up when I visited. I think it took me about 30 minutes to go through. Worth a stop if you are interested in Logan, probably not if you aren't.

Villainous Grounds in Perryville is one of those places where you walk in and immediately wonder if…read moreyou've stepped into a coffee shop or a comics store and the answer is basically yes because it's both. I spent a few hours working from here this morning and it was a fantastic office for the day. I was warmly greeted by a young lady with elf ears who made a perfect cortado and then I headed upstairs where i was able to work undisturbed for a few hours. Other than coming back down for a refillable mug of their light roads, I cranked out emails and did some Zoom calls without any trouble at all. The service from the elf ear lady and from a man with a killer moustache who might be the owner or the manager was friendly and engaging and welcome. The whole place has that comfortable vible where you feel welcome whether you're grabbing a drink or settling in for a while. I'll definitely pick Villainous Grounds for my caffeine the next time I'm passing through Perryville. [Round number review 800 of 2026 - 531 in Missouri - 25980 overall]

The flowers arrived on time, the aunt & uncle were so happy, and these great people made it all happen. Thank you SO much!!
