About the host
Hosted by Kim Jett
We’re from Jefferson City and absolutely love sharing our hometown with visitors. This city has such a unique blend of history, beauty, and small-town charm — from the grand architecture along Capitol Avenue to the quiet streets that seem to tell their own stories. Hosting at Parker’s Place gives us the chance to welcome guests into that experience — to help them see what makes this river town so special. We take pride in offering a comfortable, memorable stay where people can slow down, explore, and feel right at home in the heart of our capital city.
Why they chose this property
The neighborhood around Parker’s Place is one of the most historic and character-filled areas in Jefferson City. From the front porch, you can look across Lafayette Street to the Missouri State Penitentiary Museum and watch visitors come and go for the famous prison tours. Just a block north, the Missouri River winds past the city, and a short walk west brings you to the State Capitol and downtown shopping and restaurants. From one of the front porch rocking chairs, the elegant old architecture and calm pace of the neighborhood make it easy to imagine life here a hundred years ago — slower, simpler, and beautifully timeless.
What makes this property unique
What makes Parker’s Place unique is its rare combination of history, beauty, and location. Built in 1901, this neoclassical mansion is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and sits at one of Jefferson City’s most historic intersections — Capitol Avenue and Lafayette Street. From the front steps, you can see the Old Missouri State Penitentiary, the Prison Museum, and you’re just a short walk from the State Capitol, downtown restaurants, and the Katy Trail along the river. Inside, the home blends old-world craftsmanship — high ceilings, tall windows, rich wood trim, and elegant details — with modern comfort and thoughtful restoration. It’s a place that feels both grand and welcoming, where guests can experience Jefferson City’s history in a way no other property offers.
