Ozark Greenways, The Missouri Veterans Commission, and the C.W. Titus Foundation are thrilled to present their collaboration to create a unique new trail section of the James River Greenway – the Trail of Honor. Residents and visitors will have the unprecedented opportunity to bike, walk, or run along the edge of the beautiful Missouri Veterans Cemetery. This trail was made possible by generous donors who designated gifts to the Trail of Honor during the 2016 Trails for Generations Funding Initiative.

We’re proud that our efforts have created year-round recreational opportunities, wildlife habitat, positive economic impacts, health & wellness benefits, enhanced transportation options, and a sense of community.
