Jamesport is home to not only the largest Old Order Amish colony west of the Mississippi River, but also the oldest and ONLY Amish colony in Missouri that permits tours of the colony. This entertaining and educational tour is excellent for all ages and all sizes of groups. Tours include an Amish home, stables, and farm, where an Amish family demonstrates their lighting, heating, cooling, and tools, visit the Amish country stores nestled away in the countryside. You will also pass a one room school, farms, a saw mill, deer farms and so much more. Cost: $40 for up to five people; additional persons, $8 each. Groups of 10 or more; $7 per person. Reservations are required and should be made well in advance as tours sell out quickly and arrangements must be made with our Amish friends. Tours are 2.5 hours long.

Poosey Conservation Area

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.

"The Best Leggings" -- EVER!

I purchased a pair of The Best Leggings in Navy and they are very appropriately named. Yes, I am obsessed with the comfort and the fit. Being 5'1" and curvy doesn't always make it easy to find a good fit, but these are perfect. Will definitely be purchasing additional pairs in the future! Thanks Rural for a wonderful product!
