Gideon, MO

Set in the heart of the Missouri Bootheel, Gideon is a quiet agricultural community with roots going back to the area's early 1900s timber boom. Families appreciate that children can attend kindergarten through high school right in town at the local public schools. The community has a simple, welcoming feel, anchored by its neighborhood library branch, local parks, and peaceful residential streets. When you need bigger shopping trips, healthcare facilities, or college classes at Three Rivers College, nearby hubs like Malden, Kennett, and Poplar Bluff are just an easy drive down the highway.
