Baker Realty - Local Information

Eminence, Missouri

Breathtaking scenery awaits you in Eminence, which lies close to the junction of the Current and Jack's Fork rivers. Sitting along the Jack's Fork River you'll find the Alley Spring Grist Mill, a historic 1894 roller mill and one-room schoolhouse that were the center of the Alley Spring community. In your journey through the countryside, stop off at Blue Spring, one of Missouri's deepest and most beautiful springs, known to the American Indians as "Spring of the Summer Sky." To round out the day, take a lantern tour of Round Spring Cavern.

Natural beauty at its finest is exemplified in our many springs, caves, abundant wild life, and especially our pristine stream. The Canoe Capital of the World invites you to float year-round on the Jacks Fork and Current Rivers for a few hours or a few days for a truly memorable experience.

If horses are your interest, local stables offer rental horses for short rides or pack trips for several days. Chance sightings of the famous Missouri Wild Horses makes your ride momentous. Other outdoor activities include fishing, hunting, hiking, bicycling, and bird watching.

The shopper will delight in our many craft shops, much of which is made locally. We also boast several antique and specially shops.

Many events scheduled throughout the year include PRCA rodeos, trail rides, bluegrass festivals, Ozark Days, and our celebrated Fall Arts and Crafts Festival.

We offer a diversity of accommodations. There are many campsites and picnic areas for those who want to rough it. For those who choose to be pampered, we welcome you to try our restaurants and a variety of bed and breakfasts, cabins, and motels with varying degree of luxuries.
