This
site is dedicated to preserving the history and memories of
Pennytown, MO, an historic
black hamlet 8 miles SE of Marshall, MO, east of Highway 65.
Approximately 40 families inhabited this free black township,
which stood on
64 acres of land in central Missouri. The Pennytown Freewill
Baptist Church is now all that remains of that once-bustling
black haven.
It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
