Grain Valley, Missouri A Great Place to Call Home! 4 rating By Anonymous ( May 23, 2018) I have lived in Grain Valley, Missouri for all of my life and I can't think of a better place on earth to call home! It's full of small time charm that you expect to find in America's Heartland, with down to earth people. Grain Valley really is one of those towns where everyone k ...Read More nows everyone else, and I wouldn't have it any other way!

The best attractions here are the Brass Armadillo Antique Mall where you can find all sorts of trinkets and unique items that you probably won't be able to find anywhere else, especially things from years that have gone by. The Burr Oaks Conservation Area has beautiful trees and hiking trails where you can take the family for a day just to explore!

There's plenty of fields here too, so if you like to go four-wheeling this is the perfect location to try! In the winter time it's not unusual to see friends trekking by on snow mobile's with snow flying through the air! Read Less
