Maryville is home to Northwest Missouri State University. This small rural town encourages the arts and adds new sculptures to the town each year at the annual Art, Rhythm, and Brews event. This celebration of public art showcases three stages of live music, craft beer, wine tastings, interactive art displays, and food tastings from local restaurants. When looking for fun, locals can be found taking a class or playing a sport at the community center. The Maryville Board Game Café is also a popular spot and serves coffee from beans grown in the Kansas City area. Looking for some outdoor adventure? Travel to Monzingo Lake, a park with 2,000 acres for outdoor hobbies. This beautiful park offers fishing, golfing, hiking, boating, small game hunting and lakeside equestrian trails.
