Most of us will probably agree that it doesn’t get much better than life in Missouri. After all, Missouri’s our home, with some of us living here our whole lives while others having moved here and fallen in love. No matter how long you’ve lived here, you’ll quickly find out that Missouri will always be home.

  1. Missouri’s got it all…

Flickr/Dean Hochman Finding the perfect place to live in Missouri is pretty straightforward. No matter our personality, we’ll find the right fit. We’ve got tiny villages, small towns, and big cities; there’s somewhere for everyone.

  1. Oh…the food…

Flickr/Eugene Kim We know good food because we’re surrounded by it in Missouri. BBQ, toasted ravioli, and gooey butter cake are just some of the examples of the deliciousness of Missouri.

  1. Some of the friendliest people you’ll ever meet

  1. So much to do…

Flickr/Brad Kebodeaux Sure, sometimes we want to be bored. To just sit around and do nothing, right? Let’s face it, though, it’s impossible to get bored here. Missouri is home to so many attractions – from world class museums and landmarks to theme parks and 92 state parks. Don’t forget the more than 7,000 caves either.

  1. So many ways to explore…

Flickr/Jeff Hamm Missouri is an adventurer’s dream come true. We have countless hiking trails, biking trails, and even water trails. While we can join guided tours, we can also set off on our own.

  1. So much water…

Flickr/Thomas and Dianne Jones Life in Missouri naturally means loving the water. Can you imagine a summer without long, leisurely floats?

  1. All four seasons…

Flickr/Hefin Owen A Christmas or two with hot temperatures might be doable, but could you imagine waking up every Christmas morning with no chance of snow? Missouri’s absolutely beautiful, and we can enjoy that beauty wrapped up in each of the seasons.

  1. Our sports teams…

  1. The history…

Flickr/Terry Ballard Even if you’re not a history buff, you’ll likely agree that Missouri boasts a rich history that leaps alive in such places as Mark Twain’s Hannibal and Ste. Genevieve.

  1. There’s no place like home.

Flickr/Jonathan We can travel the world over, but when it comes right down to it, Dorothy was right. There’s no place like home – and no place we would rather be than Missouri.
