Kewanee offers a peaceful rural atmosphere and a strong sense of community, making it an appealing destination for those looking to put down roots or embrace a gentler pace of life. Known for its sweeping countryside and open skies, Kewanee blends agricultural traditions with easy access to the amenities found throughout New Madrid County.
Education is an important pillar of the community, with local families often enrolling their children in the New Madrid County R-1 School District for a well-rounded start, and nearby New Madrid County Central High School offering a broad range of extracurricular programs.
