GREEN DIRT FARM CREAMERY
Weston
When autumn’s burnished reds, oranges and golden yellows make their debut, there’s no better time to cruise Highway 45 to Weston and Green Dirt Farm Creamery. The creamery sells the bounty of nearby 150-acre Green Dirt Farm—sheep and mixed-milk cheeses and charcuterie boards, sandwiches and fresh-churned ice cream.

Built in 1859, the Belvedere Inn showcased a 360-degree panorama of the Mississippi River Valley. That view still remains from the rectangular structure perched atop the house, which helped cool the home in the days before air conditioning.

FROM THE ARCHIVES
by John Robinson
The Alert was only a few miles above Hermann when it happened. A lookout at the bow of the boat spotted a Sawyer at the edge of the channel near Fisher's Landing. He pointed to it so the captain would see.
Attached to submerged trees, sawyers are limbs that stick out of the water, pinned against the swift current. The captain already had seen it, since sawyers are red flags, triggers waiting to spring a submerged trunk like a mousetrap. Any captain would have seen it, because that’s how they become captains. They see all the obstacles atop the water. But the good ones, the captains who endure, they know what’s under the water.
