Boonville - Beautiful Small Towns in Missouri


Boonville, Missouri is most famous for being the location of a Civil War skirmish, but today it is peaceful and lovely. The town was founded 200 hundred years ago, and it received its name from the sons of Daniel Boone, who build a salt business near the town. The town’s historic significance runs deep, as it has been the country seat since 1818 and sits on both the Santa Fe Trail and the Missouri River trade route. Today, it is a wonderful place to visit and explore the rich history of the state of Missouri.

Rocheport - Small Towns in Missouri

If you visit Rocheport, be sure to stay in a lovely local bed and breakfast for the ultimate small-town treatment! This town is home to only a few hundred residents, who love the community for its old-time feel and historic infrastructure. Originally, Rocheport was a trading post for Native Americans and settlers. Lewis and Clark passed near to the site of the town during their great expedition. Today’s visitors can still enjoy a local trail—one that is a bit more tame! Take a bike trip on the 225 mile Katy Trail that runs through Rocheport, or stay a while and visit the shops and galleries.
