Princeton and Mercer are the county’s two primary communities, each offering a different perspective on life in Mercer County. Princeton, the county seat, is home to the historic courthouse square, local businesses, schools, restaurants, and annual traditions such as Calamity Jane Days and Super Saturdays. Just north, the Village of Mercer offers a quieter rural setting surrounded by farmland while remaining only minutes from Princeton’s everyday amenities. Together, these communities provide residents with the convenience of a close-knit town and the space and tranquility of rural Missouri.
