Missouri Town Named 'Most Charming Small Town' In The Entire State

Missouri is filled with stunning small towns across the state, destinations that offer a quiet beauty by letting the natural scenery, friendly atmosphere and unique attractions shine bright enough to draw you in and experience something you may not get in a bigger, bustling city.

According to a list compiled by AFAR , the "most charming small town" in all of Missouri is Kimmswick , praised for its candy shops, exciting festivals and scientific discoveries.

Here's what the site had to say about the most charming small town in the state:

"Situated on the banks of the Mississippi River, the wee town of Kimmswick is a half-hour drive from St. Louis. Spend time at the National Museum of Transportation's Wabash, Frisco, and Pacific Railroad outpost to learn more about the trains that chugged through this town, which today is home to the Anheuser Estate, a 19th-century mansion formerly occupied by, yes, that Anheuser. Knock out some shopping at the Spicery of Kimmswick (try Miss Em's Peruvian spice blend) and Mississippi Mud Gallery & Gifts before blowing your mind at Mastodon State Historic Site, the paleontological bone bed where scientists discovered the first concrete evidence of humans coexisting with North American mastodons."
