The farms on the edge of town are not so far away that residents have forgotten their beginnings (or their manners).

It is quite a short drive (in fact, a short walk, depending on where you choose to live) to the beautiful Missouri River, where you’ll find three seasons (at least) worth of fun. Boating on the river is a popular pastime, especially for guys (and gals) who like to cast the line in for some smallmouth every so often. But water sports like personal watercraft are also a big hit on the river, and you’ll find water skiers enjoying their sport all summer long.
