Wortham offers a quiet, country pace within reach of everyday conveniences. Tucked into the rolling hills of St. Francois County, it sits just minutes from Park Hills and Farmington, giving residents small-community calm with quick access to shopping, healthcare, and jobs along the MO-8 corridor.
Outdoor time is easy to come by here. Off-road riders, hikers, equestrians, and anglers head to nearby St. Joe State Park, one of the Midwest’s premier ORV destinations with miles of trails, sand flats, campgrounds, and lakes. History buffs can explore the region’s mining heritage at the Missouri Mines State Historic Site, housed in a century-old mill complex that now showcases geology and industry in engaging exhibits.
Families appreciate practical amenities. Public schools are served by the West County R-IV School District, while affordable, close-to-home higher education is available at Mineral Area College. Quality care is nearby at Parkland Health Center, and local events, sports, and farmers markets in surrounding towns keep calendars full without long drives.
Housing in Wortham spans wooded acreage, classic ranch houses, and updated homes on quiet roads—an appealing blend for first-time buyers, downsizers, and anyone seeking elbow room.
