According to the site, the most underrated town in Missouri is Perry, which is a beautiful snapshot of what the Show-Me State has to offer. Here's what the site had to say about the most overlooked town in Missouri:
"Perry is a little lake town with a big heart. With a population of fewer than 700 people, it's the classic small Midwestern town — but don't expect a ho-hum, slow-paced life. The town serves as the 'gateway' to Mark Twain Lake, which is only minutes away and draws millions of visitors each year. If you live in Perry, you'll get all of the economic opportunity and bustle of the tourism trade without being submerged in a tourist town."
