About Missouri

Missouri, often called the “Show-Me State,” is a diverse and culturally rich state located in the heart of the United States. Known for its mix of urban and rural landscapes, historic significance, and outdoor adventures, Missouri offers a wide range of experiences for residents and visitors alike.

Missouri is steeped in American history. The state played a pivotal role in westward expansion, with landmarks like the Gateway Arch in St. Louis symbolizing the nation’s westward journey. Additionally, Missouri has Civil War battlefields and historic sites like the Harry S. Truman National Historic Site in Independence.
