![These youngsters tour the Cape Girardeau police headquarters, which was shared with Fire Station No. 1, at Independence and Frederick streets, on Sept. 24, 1956. City government operations and a typical court trial were viewed in a demonstration for 404 pupils from eight Cape Girardeau grade schools during morning and afternoon sessions of the annual Kiwanis Club-sponsored Kids' Day program. [The Cape Girardeau Police Department moved to the old Grace United Methodist Church, corner of Independence and Sprigg streets, in 1960. The police department moved to a new facility at 40 S. Sprigg St. in 1976. That building was vacated earlier this year for a new facility at 2530 Maria Louise Lane.]
The old police/fire station is now the Cape River Heritage Museum.]](https://public-assets-prod.pubgen.ai/brand_a7b06a8b-02b9-4920-9426-9b9be1d4e410/asset_54c7cc7f-b153-579a-92b2-f5fffb24cc07.jpg?w=3840)
