Arrow Rock is another notable and historic city in Saline County. It became Saline County's most important river port in 1860 and the famed frontier artist George Caleb Bingham used it as a setting for some of his most well known paintings.
Today, Arrow Rock is the home of the Lyceum Theatre, the state's oldest professional regional theatre. It is listed as a National Historic Landmark. Also of note in Saline County is Sweet Springs, which became a stopping place for pioneers making their way across the Missouri River.

First known as Claysville and then as Brownsville, Sweet Springs gained its current name after a minister's ailing wife was restored to health upon drinking from the local spring. Today it is an attractive business and industrial site with a small town atmosphere much like Marshall's.
On its northeast side are numerous Victorian homes built in the late 1800s that offer the unique character of bygone years. You'll marvel at all the homes with ornately carved woodwork and beautiful stained and beveled glasswork. Salt was what first attracted settlers to the big bend of the Missouri River that would become the city of Marshall in 1839.

Saline County itself was organized earlier, in 1820, from Cooper County and named for its numerous salt springs. Bordered on the north by the Missouri River, Saline County was considered to be a part of "Little Dixie" in the antebellum years.
Jefferson (and later Cambridge) was designated the first county seat. In 1831 Jonesboro became the seat. A third move of the county seat took the court to Arrow Rock in 1839. Now restored, the building where the court met is part of historic Arrow Rock. George Caleb Bingham depicted the building used as a courthouse in his painting County Election, 1852.
On the northeast side of Marshall are numerous Victorian homes built in the late
1800s. You'll also find other one-of-a-kind bits of Americana like a tiny café
tucked off the square that can only seat 10 people at a time but always has 5 people waiting to sit down.
You'll also find a beautiful garden downtown that tells the incredible story of the world-famed mind reading "Jim the Wonder Dog." Another great retreat is the Indian Foothills Park with a colorful flower garden and the new Family Aquatic Center. There's also a performing arts amphitheater, the renowned Marshall Municipal Band and the Marshall Philharmonic Orchestra. Arrow Rock is another historic city in Saline County.

Marshall also has a performing arts amphitheater. The renowned Marshall Municipal Band and the Marshall Philharmonic Orchestra also merit special note.
The northwest Missouri region also offers 2 types of waterfowl hunting: managed
hunts and open hunting. Managed hunts are offered in areas such as the Bob Brown
Conservation Area with its intensive wetland management, levee systems, pumping
stations and crops. Open hunting, where there is no draw, usually can be found
in areas of less intensive management such as the Thurnau Conservation Area. Also of interest to the hunter is the Grand Pass Conservation Area, a 5,300-acre intensively managed wetland tract located in Saline County Missouri River bottom. It offers a daily waterfowl hunting program. Saline County also features the Blind Pony Conservation Area. Its 2,207-acre area is a multi-use facility with a 195-acre lake, warm water fish hatchery and 1,800+ acres of wildlife.
Besides an active YMCA, Marshall also boasts the Indian Foothills Golf Course and the Stone Hedge Golf Club. The local parks department offers swim classes during the summer plus youth and adult golf leagues, junior tennis, T-ball, indoor youth soccer, slow pitch softball and volleyball. So whether you like to spend your free time hitting the links, fishing, hiking, playing baseball or searching for that game-winning ace, there's plenty of recreational opportunities in Marshall and the area to suit your needs.
