About the Old Trails Region Tourism Partnership
 The Old Trails Regional Tourism Partnership is a grassroots, not-for-profit collective working to promote the Old Trails Region as a unique tourism attraction and economic development hub. The Missouri Regional Cuisines Project and the National Scenic Byway projects are concurrently underway to bolster the group’s objectives and values. For a detailed map, click here. The Missouri Regional Cuisines Project  is designed to market Missouri wine and food products using labels of origin, or geographic indicators. These labels will communicate the scenic, historic and cultural assets of the Old Trails Region, while enlivening the area’s ability to draw on economic development and tourism opportunities.
