We’re heading to the far northwest corner of Missouri to the town of Tarkio, in Atchison County. Once a bustling railroad and college community nestled along the Tarkio River, this little town of just about fifteen hundred people has a story that’s equal parts grit and revival. From the legacy of Tarkio College, which is experiencing a rebirth after decades of silence,  to local landmarks and its historic downtown, Tarkio is a place where history and hometown pride run deep.
