There's Momentum Here

Cape Girardeau is a place where you cannot only make your mark but also make your home. Whether you’re enjoying a live performance at the River Campus, taking the kids out for an afternoon of bike riding on the LaCroix Trail, or having a meal at one of the great restaurants downtown, you’ll always be greeted by friendly faces and welcoming smiles. When you come to Cape, we hope it feels like you’re coming home.
