Mercer County, Missouri
Mercer County is up at the top of Missouri, bordering Iowa to the north. Princeton is the county seat. It’s small but lively, with a town square straight out of a postcard.
This is honest-to-goodness farm country, where corn and cattle reign supreme. Rolling prairies stretch far here with red barns and silver silos. Folks here take pride in their pioneer spirit and work ethic.
Hunting season brings a flurry of blaze orange to the countryside. Summers mean baseball games and homemade ice cream socials. Winters? Not so much.
