Missouri Town Among The America's 'Best Small Towns To Visit'

The hustle and bustle of big city life is often a draw for tourists looking to explore what exciting nightlife and award-winning restaurants. However, some of the most charming and interesting places to visit are the smaller towns scattered around the vast expanse of America.

Cheapism searched around the U.S. for the best small towns to visit in the country, compiling a list of the "cute small towns [that] represent much of what is great about each state or region, just on a smaller scale than larger cities — and typically at a lower price."

Among the list, which includes stunning destinations like seaside towns in Florida and locales in the heart of "bourbon country" in Kentucky, is one town in Missouri. Jefferson City was named one of the best smaller towns to visit in the country, earning praise for its unique take on historic tours. The site also suggests checking out the Runge Conservation Nature Center for "outdoor fun" and to explore nature trails.

Here's what the site had to say:

"Jefferson City is home to the stage government, and visitors should know that construction on the state capitol finished early last year. Visitors can also take a free tour of the ornate governor's mansion, built in 1871, given by guides dressed in period costumer. Reservations for the tour are required."
