Perryville

Perryville is a community of just over 8,000 people about 80 miles south of St. Louis, and honestly, it is almost overwhelming how much this town has to offer. From natural history sites to museums, restaurants, historic properties, and more, Perryville is a true small town destination in the Show Me State with many layers of history to explore. For this conversation, I’m joined by Perry County Heritage Tourism Director and Missouri Humanities Board Member Trish Erzfeld, along with Perryville City Administrator Brent Buerck. 

What is Small Town Showcase?

We are not a flyover state. We are the heart of America. Small Town Showcase, presented by Missouri Humanities, highlights Missouri’s unique small towns and showcases the bigger picture of what Small Town America really is and why it should not be overlooked, overshadowed, or underappreciated. Tune in to hear the history of these communities and what they have to offer.
