A popular local saying has it that the third time you visit the Ozarks, you bring your furniture. West Plains, nestled in the "Heart of the Ozarks," is where you'll find breathtaking scenery to soothe your spirit and plenty of warm, gracious people who make it difficult for you to leave. When it comes to the best the Ozarks has to offer, West Plains has it all... and we'd like to share it with you. But be careful... we do become habit-forming.
