Time is short and few tickets are left! Get yours while you can! (Beware any individual trying to sell scam tickets–no physical tickets were issued and they can only be purchased through the museum.) It will be a great event including a scavenger hunt and prizes!! See MoreSee Less

A shout-out to the Historic River District for the new historical marker on the courthouse lawn on the Ozark square. It is very nicely done and a true treasure for the historic river district and its rich heritage! See MoreSee Less

CHRISTIAN COUNTY BY-GONESThe Women’s Progressive Farmers Assn met in Feb 1944 at the home of Mrs. Millard St. John with thirteen attending the covered dish luncheon and business session. The WPFA organized in 1921 with the goal of improving rural life, but grew into a state organization that incorporated in 1928. Its motto was “Loyalty and service to the M.F.A. (Mutual Farmers Association). It disbanded in 1985 after decades of public service and community participation.

This morning we received this beautiful, sturdy bench for the outside of the front of the Christian County Museum. It is a gift from the Issac Garrison Chapter (based in Nixa) of the National Society of Daughters of the American Revolution. The chapter is named in honor of Revolutionary War patriot Isaac Garrison (1732–1836). Garrison served in a North Carolina regiment and the 2nd Pennsylvania regiment, and he was present at Valley Forge. Amazingly, at the age of 100, he relocated with his sons to what would one-day be Christian County, Missouri, where he lived until he died at the age of 104. His gravesite is located in the nearby Richwood Cemetery between Nixa & Ozark. Thank you to the D.A.R. for this wonderful gift!Pictured is Linda Myers, Treasurer of the Museum’s Board of Directors and Paul Johns, Curator and President of the Board. See MoreSee Less
