CHRISTIAN COUNTY BY-GONESThis undated (post 1909) photo shows the Ozark mill on the right with a railroad car along side it, and what is now the Finley Farms Marley House in the foreground. The house atop the bluff still stands, and Ozark’s early water supply came from Bluff Spring, directly below the house at the bottom of the bluff. Note that the road into Ozark at the time crossed the mill bridge, turned right to go under the railroad trestle, then turned right again to go south up the hill into Ozark.(Pegram Photo Collection, Christian County Museum) See MoreSee Less

You won’t want to miss this one. An almost forgotten spot that once was a thriving town with 2 stores, 2 blacksmith shops, and a 3-story flour mill. Then a smaller grist mill and made into a tourist camp. Later an experimental power plant producing electricity with the old turbine (installed in 1906) that ran the mill! Lots of interesting stories including local residents Ma Barker and her Boys who in the 1930s terrorized the country as depression-era outlaws. See MoreSee Less
