To add to Missy's suggestions for that route, you could also stop in Cape
Girardeau and St. Genevieve, MO to view their French-Canadian architecture
and heritage sites.  They each have small museums, but many houses and sites
to tour.

If you follow the Mississippi north on your return trip, I can suggest
stopping in the Cairo Illinois area.  At Cairo they have three houses that
can be toured, and Fort Defiance State Park where you can view the
confluence of the Mississippi and Ohio River.  5 miles east of Cairo in the
town of Wickliffe,Kentucky is Wickliffe Mounds Research Center.  Wickliffe
Mounds is an archaeological site. The site was orginally a village from the
Mississippian culture and dates from 1100-1350AD.  The self guided tour of
site includes the orginal 1930's excavations.  Later as you near St. Louis
you could visit Cahokia Mounds State Park at Collinsville Illinois.  Cahokia
Mounds is a world heritage site and has the largest earthen mound in North
America.
Have a nice trip.
