~ A historic town you will want to call home ~
Blackwater is an unexpected gem nestled 3 miles off I-70. It was founded in 1887 after the Missouri Pacific Railroad needed a coal refilling station between Jefferson City and Kansas City.
Blackwater is a place you would want to call home with some incredible historic homes and the notable West End Theatre which plays host to musical talents such as Bob Milne, and Randle Chowning, Founder of the Ozark Mountain Daredevils as well as outstanding theatrical performances.
You will be enticed to spend the night when you saunter into the Iron Horse Restaurant and Hotel’s parlor .
After a relaxing night’s sleep in one of the ten renovated 1800’s style hotel rooms you will want to breathe in the fresh air of the Blackwater River as you wander down the Historic Commercial District, which is on the National Register of Historic Places.
In Blackwater’s unique shops you will find many wonderful treasures from custom designed soaps, one of a kind gifts, exclusive antiques and collectibles as well as baked goods, primitive, home decor and other handmade products.
You can’t leave town without getting your picture taken in Blackwater’s very own 1890’s jail. Stroll down the boardwalk to the old town bank, now housing the telephone museum. And let your mind wander back to yesteryear when you step inside the reconditioned one-room schoolhouse. Or relax in any of our beautiful flower and water gardens.
Want to bring a group to town? Blackwater’s replicated Depot can host lunch for bus groups, family reunions, wedding receptions, birthday parties or your next group meeting.
Blackwater didn’t forget the little one’s either, head down to our charming ball field for your next picnic under the pavilion while the children let loose on the remarkable new playground.
We hope to see you soon!
