About Westphalia

Settled in the 1830s by German immigrants, Westphalia is a quiet, tight-knit town set among the rolling hills of Osage County. Its heritage is woven into everyday life here, from the historic brick homes and the landmark steeple of St. Joseph Church to the community gatherings that bring neighbors together throughout the year. It has the slow, comfortable pace of a traditional mid-Missouri village, where people know their neighbors and take real pride in keeping the town’s character intact.
