Knob Noster, is a place that holds an ineffable charm of small and sweet little things; a cobbled street downtown built in the 1800’s, a flea market with unusual items, a vintage barber shop, an local ghost story about the nearby Air Force Base, the local culture of having hot cocoa and donuts for breakfast, plus a lot of green vineyards accompanied by classy wineries. This is the kind of place you need to explore beyond the usual suspects to find all of the town’s hidden gems.
This is a great place to rediscover your appetite. This small town will surprise you to with menus that are the stuff of salvation for true foodies. Pay your homage to the homegrown hero of barbecues, the famous Miller & Sons BBQ. To catch a drift of the local lore, go to A Little Off Base, a bar with classic old-style pool tables and that true vintage feel of good ol' Americana. A nice Mexican food joint down south is the Tequila Jalisco Mexican Restaurant. Check it out, but be humble and don’t challenge the spices.
The town has a number of quality schools, with dedicated faculty, that educate the young Knobsters. Some of them are the Knob Noster Elementary School, Whiteman Afb Elementary, and Knob Noster High School. The place is also dotted with beautiful parks and kids playgrounds. For serious outdoorsmen, the Knob Noster State Park is a real treat. A slow flowing creek wanders through a 4000-acre forested area and leaves a trail of beautiful treks and camping spots. It’s also a great place to test your fishing skills or widen your bird-watching experience.
With this mammoth state park in its backyard, it’s quite easy to forget the hustle and bustle of the NW US Highway 50 and the Northeast 23 Highway. These two arteries carry in it the economic progress of the region. With easy connectivity to neighboring “big towns” like Kansas City, Jefferson City, and Columbia, the place is a breeding ground for tax firms and manufacturing facilities. The nearby Whiteman Air Force Base also contributes a large share of GDP to the local economy.
The real beauty of this town never existed, because it evolved and dissolved like the flavor of cumin on hot oil. Be a part of this town to celebrate the true beauty of small towns.
