"Hello there!" "Welcome to Kirksville!!"
I was born in Kirksville. I lived here for thirty-one years. I know from experience, this small town is a Mighty Great place to live.
Kirksville is "homey" town where life is "easy", "laid-back", and people are "down-to-earth", "simple", and "genuinely friendly." Folks go out of their way to help each other and there is a LOT to be said for feeling 'safe' in this college town.
I am proud to say I am from Kirksville. Share the pride!

This is a small town that is possibly growing very slowly. But it is safe here and there are 2 colleges. Cost of living is not high. It could be a nice retirement
