Arrow Rock
Arrow Rock is a small historic town located in Saline County near the Missouri River.
It was home to the 19th century artist George Caleb Bingham and became the state’s
first historic site. The entire town was designated a National Historic Landmark by the Department of the Interior, National Park Service in 1963. Many buildings in Arrow Rock are
listed individually on the National Register of Historic Places. Several locations are also
certified sites of the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail and the Santa Fe National Historic Trail. The village draws many visitors during the year with its antique shops, historic
sites and the well-known Lyceum Theatre.
Blackwater
Blackwater is located 3 miles north of I-70 at exit 89 in Cooper County. It was founded
in 1887 and named after the Blackwater River that flows nearby. The town served as
a coal and water stop for the Missouri Pacific Railroad traveling between Jefferson
City and Kansas City and boomed during that era. When railroads converted to electric diesel technology it almost brought an end to the town.
Today, thanks to the determination of some of the residents, old time street lamps
line the streets of the historic railroad town once again. Antique and specialty shops
entice visitors to browse and buy. A windmill stands in the center of the town over
the original town well, reminding you of days gone by. The Telephone Museum has an
interesting display of telephone equipment. The completely renovated Iron Horse
Restaurant and Hotel takes you back in time.
Blackwater hosts an annual Mayfest in the spring and a Fall Festival in October. The
summer months bring performances from the Southfork Regulators, an old west reenactment group performing bank robberies and shootouts on Main Street. October
also brings A Haunting Stroll through Wildcliff Wood where West End Theatre players
entertain just in time for Halloween.

Tipton
Tipton is located at the junction of Highways 5 and 50 and is almost exactly in the center
of the state. The area has several industrial businesses along with farms, agriculture related
businesses, small shops, restaurants and more.
Tipton is home to the Maclay Home, one of the oldest structures that remains standing in
the mid-Missouri area. It was built in 1858 as a ladies seminary, but closed at the beginning
of the Civil War. It is on the National Register of Historic Places, being added in 1979. It was
given to the Friends of the Maclay Home, Inc. by the Maclay family in 1983. The organization oversees the restoration and preservation of the historic home. Maclay is open to the
public for tours from 2 to 4 p.m. on the second and fourth Sundays, May through October.
Tours are also conducted during the various local festivities.
One unusual feature in Tipton is the water tower. Painted like eight ball, it originated in 1968
when a Tipton native, Ewald Fisher, opened his pool table factory. The plant closed in 1976.
Versailles
Located at Hwy 5 & 52 Versailles serves as the county seat of Morgan County. The business
district of Versailles is built around a square with the courthouse that houses the government offices. The courthouse is in the National Register of Historic Places. The old Martin
Hotel, located a half-block north of the square, was built by Samuel Martin in 1878 and is
now a museum. Today, the City of Versailles serves as the gateway to the Lake of the
Ozarks area as a unique place where the Prairies Meet the Hills!
An annual event in Versailles is the Olde Tyme Apple Festival with food, entertainment, vendors and more. This event is held the first Saturday of October each year.

Moberly
Moberly, located in Randolph County, has a population of 13,974 (2010 census). History
shows that Moberly came about as railroads continued west following the Civil War. It was
the junction of the North Missouri Railroad and the Chariton and Randolph railroads. The
town was named after the superintendent of these two railroads. Moberly grew and attracted young immigrants looking for their fortune. The town grew to 1,500 and worked
to become the center of the railroad’s westward expansion. In 1872, the Wabash Railroad
shops were located here. Moberly provided over 800 acres of land with water resources
and coal in order to secure that facility and the town. The population of Moberly exploded
to over 5,000. A writer called it “Moberly, The Magic City” and the phrase caught on.
The Moberly area has several modern motels and dozens of restaurants for every taste.
Hunting and fishing abound in Randolph County with a wide variety of wildlife available
and several lakes for the fisherman. The area also has several parks and a racetrack.
