Missouri State Symbols

Click here or on our state above to see a slideshow featuring our state symbols.

Missouri state symbols reflect a history and culture that sets the state apart from others in the country.

Each symbol is either associated with a species native to Missouri, pays tribute to a product that is important to the state's economy or represents a time in our history.

Most state symbols are introduced by the General Assembly. However, some ideas for state symbols come from Missourians just like you.
