About Exeter

Exeter is a quiet Ozark town set among the rolling hills and farmland of southwest Missouri’s Barry County. Located about five miles west of Cassville, it offers peaceful rural living with quick, easy access to nearby grocery stores, dining, and county services. The surrounding landscape of open pastures and wooded ridges gives the area a relaxed, scenic atmosphere that fits anyone looking for country living.

The community originally took root as a railroad stop in the late nineteenth century, famously connecting to Cassville along one of the shortest independent rail lines in the country. Today, Exeter revolves around its tight-knit residential streets and local school district. With Roaring River State Park and Table Rock Lake just a short drive away, residents get to enjoy a calm daily routine alongside some of the best outdoor recreation in the Ozarks.
