About Benton

Benton is a quiet, tight-knit town that serves as the county seat of Scott County in southeast Missouri. Life here moves at an easy, unhurried pace, centered around the local courthouse and the Scott County R-IV schools. It gives residents a classic small-town feel and plenty of breathing room, all while keeping them a short drive from shopping, healthcare, and dining in nearby Sikeston and Cape Girardeau.
