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 InnGreat shirt... is definitely unisex/men’s sizing. I sized down to a small and i’ve got plenty of room.
I ordered and received my order is such timely fashion. And such a nice note attached. It made me feel appreciated. Thanks for the personal contact.
Love this T-shirt! Salad. Haha. #eatbeef
Love the shirt! Great graphic, quality soft tee and the purchase was easy and super fast! Especially appreciated the hand written note on the invoice.
Awesomely soft shirt. Fast delivery. Great fit!
I do not typically review purchases, but I will give my time and thoughts to this company. I absolutely adore Rural Mercantile. I have made small purchases on accessories here in the past - this piece is the first article of real clothing I actually had to go for and get a taste of the quality of apparel they carry. I am hooked. This is a great quality jacket/coat that I would wear all year long. In the northeast, we have eight months of cold weather; spring has cold mornings and evenings and summer can have some cool times of the day depending on nature’s mood. This jacket caught my eye over the winter, but I was thumbing my mind around it because I speculated on the quality. When this went on sale I decided it would not hurt to give Rural Mercantile’s apparel a try and I am super glad I did. I absolutely love my camo jacket! It is well constructed with metal zip up and button closure for security. Bonus is the fashion design with the cinching detail on the back and waist. Based on the online sizing guide, the suggestion would list me under large, but all that was available at sale price was a small. I went ahead and bit the bullet with the small and I am glad I did. It fits me perfectly that the sleeves fall just right at the hands and wrists. It closes up perfectly and does not impede on range of motion even if I chose to wear a sweater underneath. It provides adequate warmth without the unnecessary bulk. I have even played with it being layered with Rural’s “Nothing Like You” in both black and red buffalo plaid and tweed vests. All in all the material/product/company is great quality. Rural Mercantile is stuck with me for life.
Love the quality and comfort of the shirt. The graphic is very high quality and nice too. Very happy with my purchase!
Amazing cup! Bigger than I expected (that’s what she said)
