Sampson, Missouri

DirectionsOpenStreetMap

Sampson is a small unincorporated community near Conway and Niangua, MO, in northern Webster County, listed here among the ghost towns along the route. It sits where the lettered state routes CC and H cross, roughly 8 miles northeast of Marshfield. There is no attraction to tour; the crossroads itself is the destination. It lies less than a mile off Route 66, a short back-road detour.

What is Sampson?

Sampson is a rural crossroads rather than a town with a main street. The two lettered state routes that meet here are how most people will find it.

Visiting Sampson: tips

Drive through, enjoy the Ozark countryside and stay on public roads. The nearest listed stops are the Baker Observatory, about 11 miles away, and the Hosmer Dairy Farm Historic District, under 12.
