Vernon County, Missouri
Nestled in the western part of Missouri, Vernon County is pure Americana. It’s where the prairies of Kansas give way to the rolling hills of the Show-Me State.
Nevada is the county seat. It’s a beautiful town that feels fresh. The area’s also known for its rich coal mining history. You can still see traces of it today.
People go to the Four Rivers Conservation Area for some of the best hunting and fishing in the state. Finally, the Bushwhacker Museum tells the tale of the county’s turbulent Civil War history.
