No matter how long you've lived in Missouri - whether your entire life or just a handful of years - you're probably still uncovering hidden gems you didn't know existed or those storied destinations you've heard about but have never visited. Totem Pole Trading Post is a hidden gem in Missouri that's definitely worth discovering.

Sat along historic Route 66 in Rolla, Totem Pole Trading Post has been a popular destination for Missourians and travelers passing through Missouri since 1933.

Still, it remains one of those destinations that some just pass by, casting a glance at the eye-catching sign, but not really thinking to stop.

Known as one of the oldest businesses on Route 66 in Missouri, Totem Pole Trading Post offers something for everyone. You might even just want to stop by to check out the colorful totem pole.

Once you walk through the front door, however, you'll likely feel compelled to explore. The charming trading post sells, for example, Minnetonka Moccasins, which are made especially for the shops that order them.

Even if you're a lifelong Missourian, you still might want to pick up a souvenir or two to commemorate your visit. The Trading Post also sells wicker baskets, state spoons, and other eclectic items.

What would a stop at the trading post be without a quick bite to eat? Pull up a chair in the quaint eating area and browse the menu.

Dig into a delicious burger, hot dog, fried chicken, or pork tenderloin. Or, skip straight to the dessert with a milkshake, an ice cream cone, or a sundae.

Grab a bite to eat and do a little shopping at Totem Pole Trading Post, open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
