About Altamont
Tucked along Missouri Route 6 in Daviess County, Altamont is a quiet rural village of around 170 residents. Located just a short drive from Winston and Gallatin, it offers a peaceful, easygoing lifestyle with deep historical roots. The town was founded in the 1890s as a stop on the Rock Island Railroad, and you can still see that heritage in the historic rail worker cottages that serve as private homes today. Daily life is centered along Main Street, anchored by the local post office, the town water tower, and a historic 1900 church. For those looking for a quiet, close-knit corner of northwest Missouri, Altamont offers plenty of small-town charm.
