At one time, Hendrickson was a thriving town, complete with a school, church, a few stores, and a hotel, which still stands today as a single-family home. The school was consolidated with Poplar Bluff, and was shbut down all together in the mid seventies. The post office is gone, along with all of the commercial establishments that were once in the town. The church is the only place that shows the town is there at all. There is still a volunteer fire department across the river on Old U.S. 67. |
