Driving through small town Greenfield, Missouri. Greenfield is the county seat of Dade County. The post office has been in operation since 1950! The Opera House was opened in 1888! The town square is lined with a few buildings from the 1880s Victorian era! Greenfield is a beautiful old town with lots of memories left from yesteryear.
...."Greenfield was laid out in 1841. Greenfield became the county seat and in 1842 the first courthouse was finished. The Courthouse was later abandoned and a second one was constructed in 1850. This courthouse was later burned in October of 1863 by General Joe Shelby and his Confederate troops. A third court house was completed in December 1868, it was later condemned in February 1925. The present Courthouse which is three-stories and made of stone was completed in 1935."........
