North Central Missouri College Bookstore

North Central Missouri College is located in a community that has long valued the benefits of higher education, as college opportunities have been a tradition in Grundy County for more than 150 years. Grand River College, organized in 1850, was the first school west of the Mississippi to open its doors to women. The second institution, Trenton College, opened in 1867, and it was followed by Avalon College in 1890. Ruskin College, organized by Englishman Walter Vrooman, became the center of a socialistic educational experiment in the Trenton area. All these early institutions are now defunct. North Central has been here for almost a century, servicing over 16 counties, educating anyone who wishes to learn and grow. Visit our beautiful campus, take a tour, and come see us in the Bookstore.
