Where can I store luggage in Jefferson City?

Jefferson City sits on the bluffs above the Missouri River right in the middle of the state, and it's one of those capitals that most people drive through without stopping. That's a mistake. The Missouri State Capitol is legitimately one of the grandest state capitols in the country, with massive murals by Thomas Hart Benton inside that are worth the trip alone. The building overlooks the river, and the grounds are well kept and open to visitors.

Beyond the Capitol, Jefferson City has some genuinely interesting things going on. The Missouri State Penitentiary, which closed in 2004, now runs history and ghost tours through the old cell blocks. The Katy Trail, the longest rail-trail in the country at over 240 miles, passes right through town along the Missouri River. The Capitol City Trail is a newer paved path that loops through the city. Downtown has been coming back to life with local restaurants, breweries and shops along High Street.

If you're biking the Katy Trail, touring the Capitol, or exploring downtown, bags are just going to slow you down. BagsAway has luggage storage locations in Jefferson City inside vetted local businesses. Book online, drop your bags, and go. Takes about 30 seconds and every bag is insured up to $1,200.

BagsAway: Luggage Storage Across Jefferson City

BagsAway works like Airbnb but for your bags. We partner with local shops, cafes, hotels and businesses that have safe space to store your stuff. Each location is vetted, your bags get sealed and tagged, and everything is insured up to $1,200. No lockers, no coins, no hassle.

Jefferson City draws visitors for government business, Katy Trail biking and hiking, Capitol tours, penitentiary tours, and college visits to Lincoln University. It's also a common stop for people driving across Missouri on US-50 or US-54. Whether you're here for a day or just passing through, carting luggage through a former prison or down a bike trail is not going to work.

Where to find luggage storage in Jefferson City

Our BagDrop network covers the spots where visitors spend the most time. Here's where you'll find us:

Missouri State Capitol and downtown

The Missouri State Capitol sits on a bluff above the Missouri River, and the view from the south lawn is worth the walk by itself. Inside, the Thomas Hart Benton murals in the House Lounge are considered some of the most important American art of the 20th century. Downtown Jefferson City is right below the Capitol along High Street, with restaurants, shops and the growing brewery scene. Drop your bags at a nearby BagDrop and take your time with the Capitol and downtown.

Missouri State Penitentiary

The old Missouri State Penitentiary operated from 1836 to 2004 and was once called the bloodiest 47 acres in America. Now it runs daytime history tours and nighttime ghost tours that are genuinely creepy. The tours involve a lot of walking through narrow corridors and cell blocks, so luggage is out of the question. Store your bags before heading over.

Katy Trail

The Katy Trail follows the old Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad corridor along the Missouri River. The Jefferson City trailhead puts you right on the path, and you can ride east toward Tebbetts or west toward Hartsburg. It's a crushed-limestone surface through river bluffs, farmland and small towns. If you're biking a section, you obviously can't bring your suitcase. Leave it with us.

Capitol City Trail

The Capitol City Trail is a paved multi-use path that loops through Jefferson City, connecting parks, neighbourhoods and the university area. It's great for walking, jogging or biking, and it's free. You'll want both hands free to enjoy it, especially if you're on a bike.

Other luggage storage options in Jefferson City

Here's what else is available so you can decide what works best.

Jefferson City Memorial Airport (JEF)

JEF is a small general aviation airport without commercial passenger service or luggage storage. Most visitors fly into Columbia Regional (about 30 minutes) or Kansas City or St. Louis. BagsAway has you covered once you get to Jeff City.

Hotel storage

Hotels in Jefferson City will usually hold bags for current guests. For non-guests, it's less reliable. And you'll have to come back to that specific hotel, which can be inconvenient if you're out on the Katy Trail or across town at the Penitentiary.

Amtrak station

Jefferson City has an Amtrak stop on the Missouri River Runner line between St. Louis and Kansas City. The station doesn't have luggage storage. If you're arriving by train, a BagsAway BagDrop downtown is a short trip away.
