Marshall, MO

It offers a friendly, laid-back atmosphere with the added energy of Missouri Valley College right in town.

At the center of town is a classic courthouse square surrounded by local shops, diners, and familiar faces. Marshall also holds a special place in Missouri folklore thanks to Jim the Wonder Dog, a 1930s hunting dog famous for his uncanny intelligence, honored today with a dedicated memorial garden near the square.
