I think this is interesting from Parkville's history page...
http://www.parkvillemo.com/index.aspx?NID=160
It explains the meaning of the printing press...
The boom ended and Parkville suffered near economic collapse when the bitterness between pro-slavery forces and free soil advocates in both Missouri and the Kansas Territory escalated into warfare. Violence was common, and Col. Park's newspaper gained national attention when, in 1855, a pro-slavery mob reacted to his abolitionist editorials by throwing his printing press into the river. The end of the Civil War had little effect on the political bitterness which enveloped the town, and significant commerce ceased.

Also, the underground railroad to Kansas went through here to Quindaro.
