Home to Truman State University, Kirksville is also the county seat of Adair County. I lived there for four year and came to love the faded glory of the college town with vestiges of an industrial and railroad past. It still is one of the largest towns in Northeast Missouri

One of two county seats along with Hannibal for Marion County, Palmyra possesses an abundance of interesting churches and houses, nestled into a quiet small town community.

Famous for where Mark Twain grew up and was inspired to write his world famous novels, Hannibal is a beautiful river town along the Mississippi. While harnessing a flourishing tourist trade, it is also seeing a remarkable amount of rehabbing of its historic housing.
