“Next Stop: Moberly!” is a self-guided audio walking or driving tour that includes 100 historical locations throughout Moberly, Missouri.

After an 1866 railroad land sale, structures and businesses rapidly appeared throughout Missouri. The town of Moberly seemed to magically appear; thus, earning the name the Magic City.

The town grew into a typical railroad town of that era, with a depot, hotels, saloons, restaurants, and merchants lining the streets close to the depot. Numerous homes were built outside of this bustling area, and the population began to rapidly grow.

Community leaders soon began to emerge and social circles developed along with the swelling population.

To learn about this time in the town’s history, enjoy this tour on a leisurely stroll or drive through the city of Moberly, or on a cell-phone or tablet accessible from anywhere in the world.

At each site, the tour features stories about the historical significance of the location, information regarding architecture, and tales highlighting persons of interest affiliated with Moberly.
