A day off often means a jam-packed schedule of catching up on errands and other chores we’ve inadvertently neglected. Sometimes, though, we just need to get away, to treat ourselves to a day out where we don’t have to worry about anything. Treat yourself to a leisurely day with a visit to this darling Missouri town that’s dotted with shops and restaurants.

A half an hour from downtown St. Louis, the historic town of Kimmswick, home to just over 130 residents, whisks visitors back to a simpler time with its slower pace of life and friendly townspeople.
