Content/ Mayor’s Comments
Cooper County was organized in 1818 and is named after Sarshall
and Benjamin Cooper. Boonville is the County Seat and largest community. Much of Cooper County is prime agricultural land. It only
takes a leisurely stroll on the Katy Trail to see the beauty. The county
is scattered with many small businesses, and is alive with history. It is
the site of some early Civil War battles along with the first official
state fair location. It is also a spot on the Lewis and Clark Trail, and
has prospered from being a county adjacent to the Missouri River.
We welcome you if you are new to the county, or are looking to relocate here. We think you will find it, as the locals already know, a
great place to live, work and play.

History, Arts & Culture
HISTORY
Boonville, the county seat of Cooper
County, is located in the very heart of
historic Boone’s Lick country. Boonville is
rich in history. Whether driving past
historic structures on your way to work or
celebrating the town’s heritage at an annual
festival, the past will not soon be forgotten.
BRIEF HISTORY
The town is named for legendary pioneer
Daniel Boone who, during the late
eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries,
built a cabin at the Boone’s Lick salt spring
near Boonville. Two of his sons, Nathan
and Daniel M., made the first salt west of
the Mississippi. They floated the salt down
the Missouri River to St. Louis.
Boone often visited his first cousins,
Stephen Cole and Hannah Cole, who also
lived in the area. Hannah was the widow
of Stevens’s brother and became an
important part of Boonville history.
Records show that she left the state of
Kentucky with her husband and a group of
pioneers to find a more suitable place to
raise her nine children.
While she and her husband travelled, he
was killed by Native Americans in the area
now known as Hermann, Missouri. The
other pioneers tried to persuade Hannah to
stay there, but she was determined to find a
place well above the flooding river. She
crossed the Missouri River to the southside
bluff where she built the first Boonville
building—a fort to protect her family.
Cole later became the first woman in the
state to obtain a license to operate a ferry
boat between Boonville and Franklin
Crossing. Hannah is often referred to as
“Boonville’s pioneer woman.” The site
where her fort stood was also the site of an
early Civil War battle and the site of the
first Missouri State Fair.
The first plat for the town of Boonville was
laid out in 1817 by Asa Morgan, whom
Morgan Street is named after, and Charles
Lucas.
ARTS AND CULTURE
The arts are alive and well in Cooper County.
There are many ways residents find to express
their creativity. There are also many opportunities to observe the artistic endeavors of
others in the community.
Turner Hall
518 Vine Street
Boonville
(660) 882-3300
Turner Hall dates back to around 1847 when
it was originally built for the First Baptist
Church of Jesus Christ. The building was
used by a second church before being purchased by the Turn and Gesang Verein Society.
They in turn gave the building its current
name, Turner Hall. The Turners were an association of German immigrants who were interested in athletics, play reading and society.
From 1935 on, the building was used by a variety of local businesses. Today, it has been
restored by private owners and is once again
being used for banquets and cultural events.
The building also serves as headquarters for
the Turner Hall River Rats for the Arts, a local
arts organization.
Thespian Hall
522 Main Street
Boonville, MO 65233
(660) 882-7458
Thespian Hall has long been the icon of the
Boonville artistic community. With the cornerstone having been laid in 1855, Thespian
Hall is the oldest theater still in use west of
the Alleghenies. A product of the cooperation of several local organizations, the Classic
Greek Revival building was opened in 1857
with a Grand Ball.
In the course of its existence, and with a few
expansion and renovation projects, the threestory building has served as a library and reading room, playhouse, city hall, Masonic and
Odd Fellow lodges, MKT Railroad offices,
skating rink, Civil War hospital and barracks,
opera house and motion picture theater. In
1975 the building was acquired by the Friends
of Historic Boonville through a gift from
Kemper Charitable Trusts. The Friends have
restored the interior of the building to resemble the ornate appearance of its opera house
days. Today the building is used for local festivals, school programs, dance recitals, guest
speakers and a number of other activities. It
is the location for the Big Muddy Folk Festival and the Missouri River Festival of the Arts.
The year 2007 marked the 150th anniversary
of Thespian Hall.
Morgan Street Park
Main and Morgan streets
Boonville
In recent years, an in effort to bring visual arts
into downtown Boonville, Morgan Street Park
5
has been developed to honor some of
Boonville’s most prominent citizens. The initiative’s first completed project was a life size
statue of a Boonville pioneer woman, Hannah
Cole. Created next were busts of worldrenowned journalist Walter Williams, famed
painter George Caleb Bingham and nationally
recognized African-American educator, James
Milton Turner. Busts of the founder of Kemper Military Academy, Frederick T. Kemper
and David Barton, U.S. Senator from Missouri from 1821 to 1831, were completed
later.
West End Theater
301 Doddridge Avenue
Blackwater
(660) 846-4411
The Old Baptist Church serves
as the community theater in Blackwater. The
1905 building features the original church

The quiet tree-lined streets, friendly neighborhoods and affordable housing found in Cooper
County make it the ideal setting for first time
homebuyers, established families and retirees.
Whatever your housing preference may be, one
of our many local realtors can help sort through
multiple options to find the perfect home for
your needs. You can also contribute to the design of your new home. In recent years, the
growing need for housing in the county has led

Many of these developments still have building
lots for sale in a variety of sizes
and price ranges.
For many potential residents, the most attractive aspect of the Cooper County real estate market is its affordability. According to the 2013
U.S. census, the median value of occupied housing in Cooper County in that year was
$119,000. With recent changes in the market,
that price has gone up, but affordability is still
available.
If you prefer to avoid home ownership there
are a number of rental opportunities available.

Hiking & Biking
COOPER COUNTY ON
THE KATY TRAIL
History. Adventure. Outdoor exploration.
If this appeals to you, you’ll love what Cooper
County has to offer. With 225 miles of trail
from St. Charles to Clinton, Katy Trail State
Park is a great way to see not only Missouri,
but Cooper County as well. Whether you
and your family wish to bike, hike, or just observe nature—Boonville is the ideal spot.
Built in the shadow of the Katy, the former
path of the Missouri-Kansas-Texas (MKT)
Railroad, the Katy Trail first became a vision
in 1986. The Missouri Department of Natural Resources was able to acquire the land by
the National Trails System Act. The Act allowed the government to use the railroad corridors that were no longer needed for
transportation and recreation trails. From
this, the Katy Trail was born.
Pilot Grove Trailhead.
RAILROAD MUSEUM
Many items displayed in the caboose have been loaned or donated by those that have personal attachment to the MKT Railroad and its importance to the area. The Museum Committee welcomes any that wish to participate in exhibiting items or donating memorabilia.
Open Memorial Day to Labor Day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday 12 p.m. to 5
p.m. Open by request on weekdays the Boonville Area Chamber of Commerce next door.
The Trail is covered in crushed limestone providing an ideal surface for walking, jogging
and biking. Traveling along the Katy Trail in
Cooper County will provide you with spectacular views. The meandering trail takes you
among bluffs and along the Missouri River.
You could also find yourself in the midst of
rolling farmland. With the scenery changing
every few minutes you’ll be anything but
bored.
One trip to the Katy Trail and you’ll be immersed in the wildlife. From the tiniest insects to wild turkey and deer, there will be
plenty to observe. Bird watchers will be
pleased as they watch chickadees, nuthatches,
robins, orioles, woodpeckers, red-tailed
hawks and turkey vultures. You might also
catch a glimpse of a great blue heron, sandpiper, Canada goose or a belted kingfish.
The main Boonville Trailhead is located four
blocks off of Main Street on Spring Street.
Willing to bike but don’t have the equipment?
Don’t worry, there are a number of places in
the area that sell and rent bicycles and equipment.
However you choose to enjoy the Katy Trail,
any trailhead in Cooper County is the perfect
place to start. Hop on the trailhead and enjoy
local wildlife, history and get ready to make
your own adventures.
