A short, spirited history of Bourbon (including origin of the name) can be found here. The conclusion is quite a treat: "Bourbon has never aspired to be a big city, with a cold, business-like attitude. Instead, Bourbon's businessmen and civic leaders strive to keep the friendly, neighborly manner that has long been an Ozark tradition. Bourbon people are just plain folks, who like to make friends and make you feel at home."

bourbon is a great little town. Just dont speed!
20G!!
I run on the assumption that ALL small towns are speedtraps. Lovely pile o'bricks, BTW. They sure don't make 'em like they used to.
I was just in Bourbon Yesterday and the Hotel still sits as shown. They are keeping the grounds mowed, but it still sits wholly ignored. Thanks for pointing it out, it is a great part of Bourbon history. So is the old Watkins house that is now a tavern on Pine street.
