Welcome to Missouri’s Most Beautiful Town
Voted a Best of the Midwest destination by AAA members Tucked away in the Missouri River Valley, about an hour west of St. Louis, Hermann is a picture book village where clock towers and steeples rise above tidy brick cottages. When church bells toll, the imagination drifts easily from the banks of the Muddy Missouri to the Rhine. Today tourism is Hermann’s most visible industry. The town’s natural beauty and Old-World charm attract visitors in search of the quiet pleasures of an earlier era. Numerous wineries in and around Hermann offer tasting and tours, and much of downtown is a historic district where restaurants, shops, galleries and museums have given 19th-century buildings a new lease on life.

The issue originated at a single residence. However, because the City’s water distribution system is interconnected, the Department of Natural Resources requires that a precautionary city-wide boil order be implemented.
The City is actively addressing the situation and will notify residents as soon as the boil order is lifted.
We appreciate your cooperation and apologize for the inconvenience.
