About Bourbon

Bourbon is a Crawford County city with a name that makes introductions easy. The post office has been here since 1853, and local history ties the name directly to bourbon whiskey, a distinction the town leans into with a barrel tour and a Route 66-era roadside story. I-44 runs north of the city between Sullivan and Cuba, while the surrounding Ozarks foothills keep the setting rural. Bourbon is one of those Missouri places where the name is not just a label; it is the first piece of local lore.
