Potosi has the longest main street without an intersection in the world (three miles). At the southern end of Potosi’s Main Street is a gravel road leading to “The Point,” a peninsula of land that juts out into the river, providing a water-level view of the river and outstanding birdwatching.
For local history, stop by the Passage Through Time Museum at 116 N Main Street in downtown Potosi. The museum offers a brochure that outlines a self-guided driving tour of area’s historic sites.
The Potosi Brewery Museum – Great River Road Interpretive Center is home to the National Brewery Museum and the Potosi Brewery Transportation Museum, an official Great River Road Interpretive Center.
