CHAMPION, MO - The pavement ends at a church-and-store town with the Historic Henson Store, a family owned store in operation since 1928. The store sells more than supplies, however, it's a community meeting place. The woodstove, gas and diesel, ice cream and chess boards on the front porch are the special touches that draw locals and tourists from all over. Experience local musicians picking strings on the front porch in the summer months; this is truly a unique American treasuer. The Henson Store is open 8am - 7:30pm Monday through Saturday. One of the best days to visit is Wednesday afternoons, when locals gather there to sit, visit and have a jam session.
