In 2018, I spent a half day touring through Arrow Rock and Booneville, Missouri. I have two Great Grandparents who lived in Arrow Rock and Booneville pre/post Civil War era. My great grandfather Green Henry Wilson was a servant and farmer for W.B. Sappington in 1880. I had the privilege of taking a private tour of the W.B. Sappington’s home and land where my great grandfather would have worked. Words can’t explain how I felt to of had this opportunity. I had been planning this trip to Missouri from California for several years and the folks at the Arrow Rock Visitor Center were so accommodating to set up a private tour for me and my wife. I will never forget this trip and hopefully be able to go back another time with more family members to walk the paths of our ancestors.

In reply to Jackie Smith. That is so true. Too many times we are blown away by the quality of meals.

I’m always of the belief that just about any town will have something of interest if you look hard enough. But Arrow Rock seems to have more than its fair share!

Small towns are our favorites. . .and I am usually amazed at the number of good places to eat, the places to view history and to enjoy culture that we find in them. Would love Arrow Rock, thanks for the tour!

In reply to Juliann - Browsing the Atlas. It sure did. Visiting these small venues can really surprise you with the links you find to the outside world.

I love small towns like Arrow Rock. They have so much history, which I find more interesting than places like battelfields. Interesting that they worked on slowing the spread of malaria here. I’m guessing it worked.

Gosh, a town with only 55 residents sure looks like a perfect destination for socially-distanced travel!
