Where was Mark Twain born? What city has claim to a president who was only president for a day? Who has the best paddling trips in the Ozarks? What about the World's Largest Gift Store? Find these answers and more in Show Me Small-Town Missouri.
Award-winning author Jake McCandless, a lover of small towns and adventures, traveled the state in search of amazing local experiences to share this treasure trove of what you can find in often-overlooked towns across Missouri. Featured are 90 sparkling gems found in all four of the state's geographical regions—the Northern Prairie, the Southwest Osage Plain, the Ozarks, and the Bootheel Lowlands. The must-see attractions, activities, restaurants, sweet shops, specialty shops, and unique vacation spots are showcased in full-color images with an easy-to-follow index to help you plan your trip.
From galleries to hiking trails, candy factories to wineries, lakeside attractions to the best fireworks displays, Show Me Small-Town Missouri has everything you need to know for a day, weekend, or week full of fun.
Jake McCandless is an award-winning author, nationally recognized speaker, and minister who loves small towns and adventures. Being a life-long resident of small towns and having spent much of his time in places off the beaten path, he decided to share his family's finds from the Show-Me State with the rest of the world, first through his website www.smalltownmo.com and now through Show Me Small-Town Missouri. His love for making moments special was ingrained by his mom and his sense of adventure comes from his dad. Those special moments and adventures have continued with his wife and partner in crime, educator Amanda McCandless, who makes sure to turn each stop into an elementary science lesson, and their daughters, Andrea and Addie, who prefer candy stores and stops with water activities. Their beagle, Charlie, would join them more if he wasn't prone to getting car sick. He is based in Pea Ridge, Arkansas.
