Lafayette
6.0
High score (8-10)
Lexington on the Missouri River has genuine Civil War heritage — the Battle of Lexington site draws some heritage tourists — and the Anderson House serves as the best-preserved Civil War battle site in Missouri. The county's position on the river and the historic downtown give it a specific identity. Low competition, high novelty for a foreign outsider.
Mid score (6-8)
Lexington has 4,600 people and functions as a small river town with some heritage tourism. The social options are limited — a few local bars and restaurants and the occasional heritage event. Agricultural county with a thin tourism layer.

Lafayette County is western Missouri farm country where the social world is agricultural family networks. Lexington's heritage tourism draws day-trippers who don't engage with the local community. The county has been flat in population for decades and the permanent community is entirely self-contained.
