Turn off the pavement onto the one mile gravel road to the Ranch, and travel thru an Ozark forest, down the rolling hills and past the creek to our Ranch Headquarters.
At the Main Hall, we have an extensive and growing collection of tools, utensils, and other items from farms of the past. Our antique horse drawn & old time farm implements are displayed thru-out our Ranch area so that you may take a walking tour among these interesting and varied items.
Along the way you will pass by our farm animals, barns, pens, and poultry area. As a working farm and ranch, a number of these buildings are in use for hay, equipment, and repairs, in addition
to housing our many animals. Your children will love the goats, sheep, cats, ducks, chickens, rabbits, and other small creatures. Continue along the creek to our 3 1/2 acre spring fed lake, and
watch the fish and frogs along the shore.
Next, head up the hill to our 3000 sq. ft. multilevel LookOut Deck at the Ranch House. From this vantage point 200 feet above the creek below, you can see many of the fields & rolling hills of our 1000 acre Ranch. Enjoy the awe inspiring miles of Ozark beauty laid out before you and feel the wind in your face. Hear the creek below, smell the wildflowers on the ridge, and watch the eagles soar.
Return to the Main Hall and continue your self-guided walk on one of our trails past the bluffs and fields to the creek viewed from the deck high above. Walk the labyrinth, or take off your shoes, wade in the crystal clear water, chase minnows and crawdads, and relax.....
In nature we have the opportunity to feel the spirit of God.
Please see our "What We Offer" page for hours we are open. Admission is free!
