Historic Square In Ozark Missouri

Christian County Missouri

This is one of the many towns surrounding Springfield.

Christian County CourthouseThe city of Ozark was first settled in 1833 along the banks of the Finley River.   Among the first businesses was a general store, doctors office, wagon and freight yard, and a blacksmith shop.


In 1882, the railroad arrived. Along with it, came new businesses and new growth.

After the Great Depression, the population began to dwindle.  In the past 20 years Ozark has become a wonderful suburb of Springfield.  Conveniently located between Springfield and Branson, new businesses are being established daily and new subdivisions continue to develop. 

Christian County was established in 1859 and was named after Christian County, Kentucky. The Christian County Courthouse was built in 1860 on the north side of the square in Ozark.

This is the Ozark square today. Throught the Ozark Main Street Program and with the help of local and state grants, the square has been restored to refect the historic era. Three notorious "Baldknobbers" were hanged on the Southwest corner of the Square in 1889.  The current monument is in need of repair and Ozark is currently trying to erect a new monument of this event.

Along The Banks Of The Finley River!

Finley River Bridge

One of my first memories of Ozark is driving over the Finley River. 

Ozark was first settled in 1883 along the banks of the Finley River when the first mill was built. The original bridge was long removed and the current bridge is in it's place. To read more about the history of Ozark, click here. 

 

Further north of the Finley River Bridge is one of Southwest Missouri's oldest restaurants, Riverside Inn.  Many wedding receptions and community events have been held here since the original building was built.

 

Riverside Inn alognt eh Finley River
 

The old mill closed down shortly after I moved here in the 80's.  Now owned by Bass Pro Shops, it sits quietly awaiting it's future. Here is a picture of the original bridge.
