Hamilton, MO: A Place of Pride and Progress (Copy)

The mural in the center of Hamilton, Missouri invites us to find our happy place. And so many have found happiness by living in this small town, while others have found fun and entertainment just by stopping by for the day or a few hours. Hamilton is the birthplace and boyhood home of J. C. Penney. Now it's the Quilt Capital of the U. S. It's a town where community spirit and pride endure. 

This pictorial history of Hamilton features lavish photos, some in color, but many vintage images going back as far as the founding of the town in the mid-1800s. It will be a treasured keepsake by anyone who lives or has lived in this growing community. Even visitors will consider it a great souvenir.
