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 love this shirt! And have gotten comments on it also.
So cute! Got this for my neighbor as we exchange Xmas mugs and cups. Company shipped quickly and mug arrived in perfect condition.
Love this little guy. Bought it as a Christmas gift so don’t know yet if it’s baby approve. The rattle is very quiet.
High quality material, comfortable, and just like the picture! Also true to size!!
I'm getting married in the mountains this weekend, and got a couple of shirts in this style from a few different companies. This one was the clear winner! The fit is perfect, it's comfortable and feels well-constructed. I was worried the sleeves might be too short, but they're exactly right - and I have slightly longish arms. I was also worried it wouldn't arrive in time, but when I told her it was for an event, the seller made sure I would get it. There's a real human at the other end of that email address who owns this business, which also makes this company worth buying from!
I rarely review anything online and by that I mean I never do, but the service as well as this flannel and a few others I purchased are top shelf quality. The color of the blue one is striking but not overpowering, as in the photo, which suits me since I wear it for comfort not to show off(too much). The fit was exact too in the medium sizes I've purchased. Rural even sent a little thank you on the receipt, nice touch. Very pleased with this company, my only negative being I wish they had more colors to buy(hint: forest green). Thanks. :)
