Visit the campus of the Mizzou Tigers and walk the campus where Hailey and Aaron first met.

The quad includes 17 buildings on the National Register of Historic Places, including The Residence, where presidents and chancellors have lived since 1867.

The quad has long been a symbol of Mizzou pride and history. It is named after David R. Francis, the governor of Missouri who was instrumental to the rebuilding of the university after Academic Hall was destroyed by a devastating fire in 1892.

Shakespeare’ s Pizza has 3 locations in Columbia, but the Downtown location is the original. Try their hand tossed concoctions. They are a Mizzou tradition.

This is a favorite spot of Hailey and Aaron’s. While enjoying some of their hand-crafted beers, make sure to try the Pretzels with Cheese dip and the Bacon Chicken Wrap.

Try some locally roasted coffee at Lakota, a favorite of Hailey’s.

The District is bound by three college campuses and encompasses 50 square blocks downtown. These blocks contain more than 300 individual properties, over 5000 residents, and over 600 businesses, non-profits and government entities in Columbia, Missouri.

Since 2005, the Village at Boone Junction has been a planned village of historic homes, each native to Boone County. Each structure showcases an era and the lifestyle of Boone Countians past, from 1818 through 1930.

The Gordon-Collins Log Cabin, the Easley General Store, the Ryland Farmhouse, and the McQuitty House were each relocated from other parts of Boone County to our location for preservation and historical education.
