The life of a family in steamboat times was
far different than that of a family living
during the railroad boom. Both lifestyles
are vastly different from families living
today.
In the frontier days, country doctors rode
horses to communities throughout the
region to provide medical care. Today, the
community is blessed with a
state-of-the-art medical facility that serves
as a trauma center for the region. Country
schools in every community gave way
through consolidation to the
state-of-the-art school we have today.
People used to hold camp meetings before
modern churches began to develop with
congregations. Boys played baseball in
leagues that traveled to little towns all
around. These circuits helps prepare Elwin
"Preacher" Roe for his turn at the Major
Leagues.
The everyday tasks such as growing a
garden, raising livestock, doing laundry,
making your own soap and butter, and
getting from one place to another has
changed over time. Life in the Ozarks has
been captured seriously and satiracly in a
myriad of ways from the book Life in the
Leatherwoods to the movie The
Bootleggers. The museum tells the story
of the ordinary lives of everyday people.
