Callaway County sits between Columbia and Jefferson City, with fast connections via I-70 at Kingdom City and Highway 54, plus convenient access to employers in Boone County. Known locally as the “Kingdom of Callaway,” the area blends Missouri River bluff scenery, small-town neighborhoods, and a year-round slate of festivals and parades. Fulton’s walkable Brick District showcases independent shops, cafés, and public art, while housing choices range from historic bungalows to new subdivisions and acreage retreats.
History and education shine here. Explore the National Churchill Museum on the campus of Westminster College, then enjoy lectures, performances, and collegiate athletics around town, including the equestrian tradition at William Woods University. Outdoor time comes easy: ride or run the Katy Trail State Park through Tebbetts, Mokane, and Portland along the Missouri River, or wander wildflower paths and birding overlooks at the Prairie Garden Trust. Families appreciate strong local options such as Fulton Public Schools, with additional districts serving North Callaway, South Callaway, and New Bloomfield.
Whether you’re seeking an efficient commute, a campus-adjacent bungalow, or room for a workshop, Callaway County offers approachable prices, friendly streets, and the time and space to put roots down.
