About Downing

Set among the rolling farmland of northeast Missouri's Schuyler County, Downing is a quiet, close-knit community with deep rural roots. The town started out as Cherry Grove before growing around the railroad in the late 1800s, and its past is still easy to see today. The restored train depot and old jailhouse sit right in the city park, while open country roads connect neighbors across the surrounding fields. It is a calm, friendly spot for anyone looking for peaceful small-town living.
