About Old Appleton

Tucked along Apple Creek in northern Cape Girardeau County, Old Appleton offers a quiet, rural slice of Southeast Missouri living. Highway 61 runs right past town, making for an easy drive to nearby Jackson or Cape Girardeau while keeping things peaceful at home. The community dates back to the 1820s, and its restored 1879 iron bridge still stands as a favorite local landmark along the water. It is a relaxed, scenic spot with deep historic roots and plenty of open space.
