Welcome to our online guide to the heritage tourism resources of the Ozarks.

Residents, visitors, and interested others may explore the sounds, sights, tastes, and other experiences of the Ozarks. Learn how you can support the work of the traditional arts, artists, and regional folklife that make our region distinctive.

The Ozarks has a wealth of history and culture, unique to the region. In all shapes, sizes, and colors, the people that define the Ozarks have shaped its character. Yet, as society moves forward at an ever increasing and complex pace, the past fades and is forgotten.

What legacy of the wonders of the Ozarks will we leave behind for our children? Will they have the precious memories to cherish that linger in our minds? How can we safeguard for posterity the unique region known as the Ozarks?

Ozarks Preservation Inc. is a project of the West Plains Council on the Arts (WPCA). We are committed to gathering the richness of the Ozarks in a manner that can be easily enjoyed by others, yet retain the character that makes it an Ozarks treasure.
