McDonald County
Description:... The rugged, timbered, and isolated hills of southwestern Missouri attracted and created hardworking, innovative individuals. In the 1830s, outsiders began arriving in the area, bringing their families and their Appalachian ways. Largely isolated in small commuities, the new arrivals became skilled in rural ingenuity and relying on one another. Today this culutre of caring for family, neighbor, God, and country continues to enrich the lives of those who call McDonald County home.
