Union’s rural tranquility is bolstered by charming small businesses

Rural Family-Friendly Park-Like College Town

Set along the Bourbeuse River and just an hour west of St. Louis lies Union. A small city that’s big on local businesses, Union has something for everyone. Experience top-notch barbecue on East Main St., or join the crowd at Maggie’s Over the Creek for good drinks and karaoke.

Union City Park is a great spot for kids. There’s a splash park that will help beat the heat in the summer, and the annual Union City Fair brings the whole city out for rides and live music. East Central College lies on the east side of town across the river, and there’s also a collection of shopping centers that will take care of almost any need. If St. Louis is calling your name, or one of the many state parks around Union, US-50 leads to I-44, making a road trip simple.
