There are some things that will never cease to be a mystery. That is definitely the case for one tiny Missouri town that was prominent enough to have a post office back in the day, but now has no remnant remaining that it ever exited. It simply is extinct.

Basically, the transition from Thanksgiving to Christmas isn't complete without this event over at the Hotel Bothwell.  Make your plans to see it either way!

The internet just declared that a certain mansion is "the grandest in Missouri". Well, that may be true, but it also might be the most haunted as many claim they have seen a "lady in white" presiding over the estate.

When two massive earthquakes rocked the New Madrid, Missouri area in late 1811 and early 1812, most of the damage is only recorded in history books. But, there is still a remnant of those historic quakes in the form of sand volcanoes that can still be found if you scour Google Earth.

If you find a time machine, you'd have to venture way back to the time when Hannibal was 3 times larger than Hannibal, Missouri, but it's true. There's a new memento from a scrapbook that's just been found that recounts that era.

It has only happened once and will hopefully never happen again. There was a wind event in Missouri that is so legendary that the speed of the winds were double that of even a category 5 hurricane.
