About Mercer

Mercer is a quiet rural community in northern Missouri, sitting right along US 65 just south of the Iowa border. The town grew up around the railroad in the late 19th century and has kept its small, relaxed feel ever since. Residents have easy highway access to nearby Lineville and Princeton for daily errands, while the Lake Marie and Twin Lake areas just southwest provide scenic spots for fishing and lakeside homes. It offers a calm, simple lifestyle rooted in the surrounding farmland.
