Charming small towns help define the heart and soul of Missouri. Each shines through with its own individual personality and draws visitors from near and far for its unique attractions. One town, however, has earned props for its sheer coolness. Weston has long been considered, at least by some, to be the coolest small town in Missouri.
With just over 1,760 residents, the darling town of Weston hearkens back to a simpler time with its old-fashioned charm and hospitality, historic downtown, and a full menu of attractions.
Introduce yourself to Missouri’s coolest small town with a visit downtown. Stroll through the quaint shops – selling everything from vintage items to gifts – and get to know the townspeople.
Shops generally welcome shoppers Tuesdays through Sundays with Mondays being an off-day. Keep that in mind when planning your visit.

If you’re visiting during the holidays, make sure you add a stop at Fulk’s Tree Farm to find your Christmas tree. Shop at the Red Barn, the farm’s store, while you’re there, too.
Weston hosts special events in all seasons, so any time of the year is perfect for a visit. While you’re in town, grab a delicious bite to eat at O’Malley’s 1842 Pub.
