About Lucas

Lucas got its start in the late 1800s as a railroad stop before booming as a prominent coal mining town. Today, it is a peaceful rural community set along White Breast Creek, offering plenty of small-town charm and wide-open spaces. Local families are part of the Chariton Community School District, with kids making the quick drive over to nearby Chariton for classes and community sports. It is an easygoing spot for anyone looking for quiet country living with regional conveniences close by.
