Pecan Capital of Missouri
Brunswick
CHARITON COUNTY
As the official Pecan Capital of Missouri, Brunswick is known for its top-quality production of distinctively flavorful native pecans, specially sourced from ingredients manufacturers, exported internationally, and sold locally in retail shops. Located along the Grand River, only three miles from the Missouri River, Brunswick offers outdoor enthusiasts access to camping, fishing, hunting, and trapping, as well as boating and kayaking opportunities.
A hub for quilters, Sew Sweet Quilt Shop supplies and ships a range of quilting kits, fabrics and supplies and provides quilting services. The shop maintains a steady calendar of quilting and sewing classes.
Brunswick also intersects with multiple points in history. Lewis and Clark passed through here in 1804. The Pottawatomie Indian Tribe crossed their waters in 1838 during the Trail of Death march. And Brunswick’s community grew in numbers as our German ancestors immigrated to the US and moved westward into Chariton County, now recognized as the northwestern-most county of the German Heritage Corridor of Missouri.
A rural Missouri destination, this vibrant town welcomes former residents, families, quilters, and community groups for day trips and weekend getaways.
