Welcome to Marshfield, Missouri or "Top of the Ozarks".  Our city is located off of exit #100 on Interstate 44 and Route 66 runs through the middle of the city.

Marshfield is proud to have the distinction of having the longest running Independence Day Parade west of the Mississippi.  We celebrated our 130th Independence Day Parade on July 4th, 2009 and thanks to the 139th Airlift Wing Division from St. Joseph, MO. everyone enjoyed the flyover of a C130 four engine cargo plane as it passed over our courthouse twice, thanks again for being a part of our Independence Day celebration. 

Marshfield is also the birthplace to Edwin P. Hubble of the Hubble Telescope, look under "Tourism" to find out where to view the replica of the Hubble Space Telescope.

Also while you are in Marshfield take a look at the mural which is located on the side of the building on Washington Street, across from the Hubble Space Telescope.   Thanks to the Missouri Arts Council, Governor Jay Nixon and our state legislators, Tina Hyde and the Marshfield High School Art Club and local businesses that helped and supported this project.  This beautiful mural enhances our city's square and encourages tourism in Marshfield.

Marshfield is a beautiful place to live and to visit.  We are designated a "Tree City" and take pride in the beauty of our community.  Thanks to many volunteers, community leaders and those at the Marshfield City Hall, donating hours of labor planting 3,500+ trees throughout Marshfield.
