I have spent the better part of my life wandering courthouse squares, church suppers, and back porches in search of a good story, and in that time I have run across a few folks who are doing the Lord’s work when it comes to preserving what is remarkable about this corner of the world. The sites below are ones I recommend without reservation to anyone who wants to know more about the history, folklore, and living culture of the Ozarks. They are kindred spirits, every one.
