Life often moves at such lightning speed that we rarely get time to really relax and unwind. After all, there's always something going on and always something to do. Sometimes the best way to find that elusive peace and quiet is to go on a day trip or a weekend getaway. If we're really adventurous, we might even unplug for a day or two. One of the best ways to get away from it all is to plan a visit to the peaceful town of New Haven, Missouri.
Escape the near-constant noise of daily life when you visit the utterly charming and tranquil town of New Haven, home to just over 2,300 residents.
Nestled on the Missouri River, the enchanting small town promises a slower pace of life and the small-town friendliness for which the Midwest is known.
Billed as "Missouri's Best Kept Secret," New Haven boasts a darling downtown that harkens back to yesteryear with its quaint storefronts.
