Kick your shoes off and sit a spell. You've come home to...The Lake Area History Pages! On the following pages you'll find all sorts of interesting facts and stories about the history of Missouri's fabulous Lake of the Ozarks and the surrounding four-county area. (You'll find a few tall tales and local lore mixed in as well!) The topics range from pre-history to the development of the area as a major vacation site. Hi, folks! My name is Mike Gillespie. Over the past twenty years I've worked as a history teacher, a tour guide, a researcher, and a writer. I'm very happy for the opportunity to bring you these free history pages. I'll be adding new topics each week, so come back often and I'll do my best to entertain and inform you. To begin your journey, simply click on a topic at the right. They're grouped by category. Let me know if there is any way I can help arrange this material into a more readable format.
