This stunning area contains unique fern-draped rock bluffs, heavily-timbered hills of oak and hickory, rolling grass expanses, and a variety of wildlife. The foliage provides brilliant and showy fall colors.
This portion of the Grand River Valley was one of the last parts of Missouri yielded by the American Indians. In 1833, the last remnants of the Shawnee tribe left the area, opening the area to settlement by people of European extraction, who came here via Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia. The settlers, who preferred forested tracts to open prairies, were attracted by plentiful natural supplies of food, fuel, water, and building materials. The area's rugged landscape reminded some of the settlers of the Poosey region in Kentucky, giving rise to the areas name. The area continues to be known as the "Kingdom of Poosey," and travelers asking directions to it are usually informed that it is "just ahead over the next hill."
Nestled among the steep, tree-covered hills in the southern portion of Poosey Conservation Area is 192-acre Indian Creek Community Lake, which was constructed in 1987. The lake features a disabled-accessible floating fishing dock. The area also contains a shooting range, which features 25-, 50- and 100-yard firearms targets. The range is located in the northwest portion of the area.
Just a short drive to Hamilton, Missouri and you will find a quilter’s paradise, attracting folks from all of the world to visit Missouri Star Quilt Co, endearingly called the Disneyland of Quilting. YouTube quilting sensation Jenny Doan runs the most famous quilt shop in all of America with her family and staff, offering daily demonstrations, quick quilting tips and techniques. The company has grown to twelve themed quilt shops, Man's Land, and a Sewing Center for retreats and events. The brand new Main Shop is a hub for all MSQC activities, with a focus on education. Bus tours are available. Advanced accommodations recommended.

Arbor House Country InnI ordered two grab bags for my daughters and they loved it. They immediately ran baths to use their new bath bombs and wear their new leggings. 11/10 will order again.
I saw this candle in a local store and just had to get it for a friend... by the time I went to purchase it was no longer in the store, but I was able to easily find it and order it directly from the merchant online. My friend loves it ('amazeballs' is kind of her thing) and the scent is clean, bright and beachy. Not too sweet and not too musky. Its a winner.
My 2 girls loved getting their own bags filled with surprise items. They especially loved the bathbomb.
I love this shirt Tailgate down Music up
I can’t wait to wear it
Thank you so much
The absolute cutest quality T I’ve purchased online in awhile !! Very fast shipping also !!
Rural Mercantile is the best place to shop. We always get our orders so quick and the girls at the shop are very friendly. Happy to support a veteran owned small business with great ethics!
The smell of this candle will fill the house and we and my guests love it!
Love this shirt! It is so soft and shipped very fast!
I have a problem keeping track if my keys and ever since I bought this i can always find them. Makes it so much easier to hang them up or grab them out of the bottom of my purse.
I am buying this shirt for my nephew. He is a 3rd generation farmer who is currently in college. He loves to advertise Eating Beef products! I cant wait for him to receive this shirt!! Its also so soft!!! Please make more options regarding Eating BEEF!!!
The shirt looks amazing and has a perfect fit with the material!
I am in love with this beanie. It's so cute for fall and is comfortable when my hair is in a pony or messy bun. I get so many compliments on this beanie!
Say something without talking. Facts are hard to argue with, and these soft cotton T-shirts make the point loud and clear.
This cardigan is so stylish and comfortable. It's amazing quality and perfect for cooler weather. I absolutely love it!
I got a 1X and it is true to size. The sleeves are longer than I like on a women’s shirt and they’re fitted more like a muscle tee. The fabric is very soft and it’s held up to a few washes so far.
Great stocking stuffers for Christmas!!
Love everything I buy from Rural Mercantile!!
I love my glam bag and the products I received! Love love my pop socket and my braided bracelet. 💞 Absolutely love my sweatshirt, so soft and comfortable. This has become my new favorite sweatshirt 💕💕 This is my first order and will not be my last!
I absolutely love this shirt. Quality matter for a quality dad👌
This shirt is very comfortable and true to size. I would definitely buy the t-shirts again.
This vest is very cute and versatile- can be dressed up or down! Love it!! I recommend it for fall and winter!
These were so good! I’ll definitely be back to hopefully buy more!
I love this flannel so much! It definitely my favorite! I got so many compliments on it!
I bought this hat for my daughter and she is in love with it. It matches all the great fall colors. It’s a fun way to dress up a outfit.
