What it’s like

The place. Broseley is a very small community in Butler County, Missouri, with far fewer people than most towns. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and daytime highs staying well above freezing but nights dipping below it, while summers are hot, with July the warmest. Rain and melted snow add up to a good deal over the year, so the ground and the creeks in this part of the state rarely go dry for long.

Work. Across Butler County, there were a little fewer jobs last year than the year before, and unemployment is slightly lower than it was a year earlier. Broseley residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in manufacturing and in the building trades. Among the county's largest workplaces are Poplar Bluff Regional Medical Center, Veterans Health Administration and Poplar Bluff R-I Schools.

Things to do. Hydro Adventures, an amusement park, is a short drive away. Farther afield, Lake Wappapello is a reservoir, and Lake Wappapello State Park and Mingo National Wildlife Refuge are protected areas, each a longer drive away. Together they give people nearby room for boating, walking and watching wildlife.
