The Pickin' Park

Musicians congregate to play folk music just behind the courthouse on the Court Square when the weather is good. Grab an ice cream cone and listen to some of the best music in the area. Free.

Gravity BrewWorks

Open Thursday-Saturday, this unassuming nanobrewery sitting right smack in the middle of nowhere makes award-winning beer and opens the tasting room to the public. Have a pint or grab a growler to go! Kids tagging along? No problem...there's a large outdoor area with picnic tables and even a few cornhole games. (You can bring your own snacks)

Ozark Folk Center

Walk back in time! The Ozark Folk Center is a state park aimed at educating visitors about the rich cultural legacy of the region. Meet with blacksmiths and basket weavers, take a seat in the 1,000-seat auditorium to listen to concerts by local celebrities and explore the center's heritage herb garden to learn about the indigenous plants and traditional cuisine of the Ozarks. Hungry after? There's a restaurant, The Skillet, within a short walk.

Loco Ropes

Offering ziplines and a ropes course, this place will get the adrenaline flowing! I've seen kids of all ages (sweet old grannies included) on the zipline. It's fun! Located just across the parking lot from the Ozark Folk Center.

Jimmy Driftwood Barn

Gather in the Barn for some good ol' live Ozark Folk Music!
