Apple Creek Conservation Area is located in northeast Cape Girardeau County, three miles east of New Wells on State Route CC. The Missouri Department of Conservation created Apple Creek Conservation Area in 1986 with the purchase of 2,082 acres from several landowners. Steep hills and narrow valleys characterize this area, and approximately 2.5 miles of Apple Creek Stream frontage forms its northern border. The area is home to a mix of upland oak-hickory forests and a few bottomland forests. The Conservation Department has created watering ponds and planted food plots and agricultural crops within the forest to provide additional food sources for wildlife. Timber harvests are also an important part of habitat management; they produce forage and cover for forest wildlife. The area is located north of Cape Girardeau; take the Fruitland exit off I-55, go seven miles north on U.S. Route 61, then six miles east on Route CC.
The Museum interprets the 1838-39 Saxon Lutheran immigration and the history of the seven original colonies in East Perry County, the origins of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, and the regional German-American culture. Historic structures include the 1845 1st Church Building, and the 1839 Log College Seminary. Guided and self-guided tours of the main gallery and original church are offered. The complex includes a state-of-the-art exhibit hall, reception area, and gift shop. Bus tours welcome.
