The Missouri River has had a long and winding history. Today not as much.

Rebecca Nunn wondered why. She rode a boat on the Missouri River when she was young. Today she works at the Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport. All that exposure to the river that runs through us prompted Nunn to ask our curiousKC team why and how the route of the river changed over time.
