Most People Have No Idea Just How Unique This Village In Missouri Truly Is

In Missouri, villages are incorporated municipalities with a population under 500. But how unique can a town that small really be? Well if you take a trip to Kimmswick, Missouri, you'll see for yourself.

Kimmswick sits right along the Mississippi River and is located just 25 miles south of St. Louis. Its population is about 157 people.

They're home to the "World Famous Levee High Apple Pie."

You know it's "World Famous" if it was listed on Oprah's Favorite Things list. To have a slice of this pie, head on over to Blue Owl Restaurant & Bakery.
