Mt. Vernon, Missouri is a unique community. It possesses, within its city boundaries, everything that is "small-town" America: from public gatherings on the lawn of the historic courthouse to friends and family gatherings at more than a half-dozen parks found throughout the town. Mt. Vernon even offers a 50-cent city taxi service.

The people of Mt. Vernon have always rallied around the concept of "growing together." At the same time they honor tradition, they are also embracing the future.

Mt. Vernon, being rich in history, is also a growing city. Located on one of America's major east-west corridors, Mt. Vernon continues to draw interest from industrial and commercial prospects throughout the region and abroad. In addition, community leaders work hard to keep the town's traditions intact.

Yet, no matter how much Mt. Vernon grows in the future, it will always honor it's past.
