If you’re after day-trip inspiration, we can help out. Sitting 30 miles away, Lamar is worth jumping in the car for. Lamar Lake, Harry S. Truman Birthplace and Lamar City Park alone justify the drive out here. The locals are also likely to point you toward Joplin, 40 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, make sure it’s Webb City Farmers Market. (But we’d also highly recommend Cunningham Park and Candy House Chocolate Factory.)
