Attractions:
Antiques - For a nostalgic journey to earlier times, shoppers can visit the many
antique and specialty shops in West Plains. Plan on spending an entire
weekend browsing through charming stores brimming with treasures
just waiting to be discovered.

Ozark Mills and Springs - Today, the mill is the scenic center of a privately owned fishing resort and trout hatchery. Many of the town's original buildings have been preserved, and the old general store converted into a popular area restaurant. Cabins at the resort are sometimes reserved years in advance by fisherfolk who, like those first residents, just have to keep coming back.
