How the Good Roads Movement helped transform Missouri’s muddy rural routes into modern highways

Before highways crisscrossed Missouri and before most rural routes were paved, getting from one town to another could mean mud in spring, dust in summer, and a journey that might take hours longer than it should. That frustration helped spark a nationwide push known as the Good Roads Movement, a campaign that eventually reshaped transportation, agriculture, and even daily life in places like Missouri. Doug Genens with the State Historical Society of Missouri joins Show Me Today to explain how this movement started, who drove it forward, and how it helped turn “getting there” into something Americans could finally count on.
