DETAIL OF FRONT DOORWAY - Price House, Arrow Rock, Saline County, MO
In This Small Midwest Town, A Complicated History Is The Key To A Healthy Future
When your town is built in a place that was sacred to Native Americans and includes a history of slavery, it takes some courage to face the past. Read more and listen to the story: http://bit.ly/2mgiyjb
“It’s not always terrible stories; it’s not always happy stories. These are people who lived and died in Arrow Rock and some of them had meaningful lives, some of them had a lot of hardship. And so we want to tell those stories, and unvarnished truth of them, whatever that truth is.” Sandy Selby, executive director of Friends of Arrow Rock.

TheBadge Rejoining my fellow door buffs this week. Beginning last Thursday, I had a few low-key days that were the result of getting my 2nd vaccine shot. I am happy to say that I didn’t suffer the nausea or headaches. But I would like to mention that if you have any old ‘football’ injuries, it will find them. No sports to speak of in my past for the record, (just a few, significant,…

Thursday Doors in the words of Norm 2.0 is a weekly feature allowing door lovers to come together to admire and share their favorite door photos from around the world.

Number 15 on the walking tour of Arrow Rock, Missouri is the Dr. Matthew Hall House. Dated 1846, it is nearing 172 years old.
Arrow Rock was established in 1829.
The description in the self-guided tour of Dr. Hall’s influence on this town’s history is stated as saying:
15 Dr. Mathew Hall House,1846|Dr. Hall was a noted civic leader and community physician. In 1856, he moved his family to the country to escape “the evil influence of a river town.”– MDNR To see more of this guide, click here.
It must have been a rough place to reside at some point. Hard to imagine now.
For me, this town represents much of a ‘frontier-era Missouri’. It sits along the path taken by Lewis and Clark on their famous Expedition.
I’ve been posting on this town several Thursdays now and I think it’s time to let it go with a slide show of extras. If you happen to be driving down I-70 in central Missouri though, I highly recommend taking the exit to Arrow Rock to see this River Town time capsule. It’s not a tourist trap and comes with a very scenic drive along the way. A real gem!

The jaunt through Arrow Rock, Missouri continues for yet one more week. No promises to be finished with it, although I reserve the right to take a break from it. Time will tell.
In case you were in the market for some business real estate in the area, here’s one right on the boardwalk of Down Town Arrow Rock. Antique/novelty shop, bakery, hair salon or photo/art studio would be my own personal suggestion. Hint, hint. 😉
Across the street is this pretty significant place in history in the state of Missouri…..
I think the best approach to convincing you of the appeal of this Mid-Missouri real estate is with a little slide show. So hope you enjoy this slice of Huston Mercantile.

Mother’s have always been known for trying to steer their children in the right direction. I have a door this week that shows the worst result from a life of trouble.
I first caught a glimpse of it here as I was capturing “Academy Boarding House” at Arrow Rock, Missouri.
It’s really not too far from the boarding house. Just down the hill a bit.
I am glad my husband was willing to shut the door for me. I was kind of reluctant. Things break when I touch them. You can see we were treated with 2 doors. But I’m pretty sure both were air-conditioned. Well-ventilated is a more sophisticated way of expressing that I suppose.
The modern roof is being held down with stablilizers. I imagine a good wind would topple the structure pretty easily otherwise. It’s surprising it is still standing to be perfectly honest.
Here’s an inside view. Not sure where the lighting came from? There weren’t any windows. Only that little hole at the top. Spooky!
Calaboose is the title they give for this building and it means Big Cage. I find it rather amusing that the prisoner had enough street smarts to know he’d be upsetting all the students in the nearby boarding house. I can imagine they were kept awake til the wee hours of the morning with all that racket.
Thursday Doors, implemented by Norm 2.0 is a place to see doors from all over the world by simply finding the blue frog in his latest post on the subject here and clicking. You’ll see a list of entrants for this week and I encourage you to visit them for a wide variety of beauty we find simply in ‘doors’. They’re pretty awesome people too!
