A Trip to New Franklin

I took my parents down to New Franklin early this summer to pick up a boxed meat package from Jennings Meat Packing and Processing.   We did a bit of sight seeing and had lunch at the senior center. About a half hour from Columbia it is a nice day trip and I highly recommend it.

The following two pictures were taken from the same location showing both sides of the downtown street.

Small towns in Missouri offer a unique experience and certainly a change of pace.  Go explore and meet people instead of staying at home watching Fox television.
