Swiss, Missouri

Place in Missouri

Swiss is an unincorporated rural village in Gasconade County, Missouri, United States.[1] It lies at an elevation of 906 feet (276 m), along Missouri Highway 19 roughly 12 miles south of Hermann. The village was originally founded by immigrants from Switzerland, hence its name.

Swiss is home to the Swiss Meat & Sausage Company. Founded in 1969, the company claims to employ about one dozen full-time workers and eight part-time workers. Swiss Meats has won many awards for its sausages and has been featured on The Food Network. Swiss also operates a catalogue and mail-order business.[2]

The only other public destination in Swiss is the Silver Dollar Restaurant & Lounge. A store, school, church and post office once located in Swiss have all closed.
