Stark Caverns is launching an $11 million Lake of the Ozarks Adventure Park that will add new attractions, buildings, dining areas and more than 50 expected jobs near Eldon. The multi-phase project has broken ground, according to a community announcement, with its first buildings and attractions scheduled to open in late spring 2027 and an anchor attraction expected late summer 2027. Construction began Nov. 9 and is planned to continue through the winter and spring. The first phase will transform Stark Caverns' existing location with three additional buildings, family attractions, a snack shop and dining areas.

Photo captures how one Shoshone family kept traditions in the Ozarks

Dan and Kathy DeLane, along with their daughters Concha and Rena (pictured in this 1981 photograph), ventured to the Ozarks from the Shoshone reservation in Wyoming with a dream, which was coming to fruition through a cattle farm in southern Dallas County, Missouri. Dan and Kathy made it important to keep Shoshone traditions central as they raised Concha and Rena in a majority Anglo-Saxon world. Much of the children’s day-to-day practice of keeping traditions alive showed up in how they wore their hair, the adornments on their clothing, and how they balanced traditional cultural practices with learning about their new culture in the Ozarks. This image is part of a much larger collection of historically rich photographs from the News-Leader’s photo archive. Each week, the Springfield-Greene County Library will tap into this vast collection and present an interesting image “from the darkroom" and share its history. This image is presented in partnership between the Springfield-Greene County Library District and the Springfield News-Leader.

I-70 widening moves forward on 44-mile Missouri stretch

Missouri has selected a contractor team for a $583 million project to widen 44 miles of Interstate 70 between Kingdom City and Warrenton. The Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission selected the Millstone Weber Team as the apparent best-value proposer, according to a community announcement. The team includes contractor Millstone Weber, designer Jacobs Inc. and key partner WSP. Contract negotiations are underway. The project will add a third lane in each direction and replace existing I-70 pavement between Kingdom City and Warrenton with new full-depth concrete pavement. Plans also include three bridge replacements, six bridge rehabilitations, a fourth eastbound lane at Mineola Hill to serve as a climbing lane and a redesigned Norfolk Southern Railroad crossing at High Hill. The 44-mile project is the sixth in Missouri's Improve I-70 Program, a $2.8 billion effort to add a third lane in each direction and make other improvements along nearly 200 miles of I-70 from Blue Springs to Wentzville. “Choosing the Millstone Weber Team as the Design-Build contractor for the Improve I-70: Kingdom City to Warrenton project is another important milestone for MoDOT’s Statewide Improve I-70 Program,” MHTC Chairman Warren Erdman said in the announcement. Millstone Weber also is delivering the program's Columbia-to-Kingdom

A 205-Acre Missouri Lake Where An Empty Stringer Still Means A Good Afternoon

The boat ramp costs nothing, and the entire lake is a strict no-wake zone. Somebody out there clearly understood that a fishing trip should sound like birds, not engines. This 205-acre lake sits in central Missouri, and anglers have pulled bass topping six pounds from its waters. Some folks learned to fish here as small kids and still never stopped coming back years later.
