Unique place that was surprising large. I was not expecting 3 floors full to the brim of Ozark heritage. Very cool.

A great museum. So much to see. Learned a lot about the Ozarks. Impressed with the students who work there. Highly recommend.

We took advantage of their area appreciation free tour, but there is usually only a small entry fee anyway. My kids loved it.

Very very awesome place. Much more than expected. Came to see the Beverly hillbillies truck. But loved everything else too.

Big thumbs up for plenty of seating. As one who has trouble walking I found plenty of seating throughout the day to rest.

Please consider contacting Jethro Max Baer and see if you can get him to make appearances with truck before he's gone. Hell I'd pay 100 bucks for a pic of Jethro and me in truck. Could make money. Thank you for the fantastic place.

Bigger than we expected. I learned a lot without realizing it. This is the place for you if you have any history, geology, music, weapons, collectables, or reenactment interest. It is on the campus, which the drive in has a lot of cool views as well.

This is a surprise museum. Had wonderful items for everyone to enjoy. Guns & animals for the guys, glassware & old purses for ladies. Quilts & sewing machines. Display of radio show with pictures of country singers.

If you like guns and dead animals, this is the place for you! There's a lot of pottery as well, but not specifically marked enough to make it interesting. It's kind of a hodge podge of items but not very expensive, so if you have a few hours and want to get some walking in, you might really like it here.

Drive all the way across country to take a photo in the Beverly Hillbillies truck and they wouldn't allow us to pay to do it because they didn't have a trained photographer.lamest thing I've ever heard.we didn't even want to use their camera or cameraman. We wanted to take our own.the manager Tom really ruined our visit.

My husband "The Gun Guy" says every gun person should see this amazing collection! The museum has so many interesting things including a large taxidermy section. This place is wonderful!

This was such an incredibly cool hidden gem! This museum has it all, including the Beverly Hillbillies car, thousands of amazing old artifacts from the Ozarks and around the world (some from Biblical times), the biggest collection of weapons I’ve ever seen, incredible animal exhibits, and many other items. The staff were also wonderful: they are college students who work during the summer to pay for their room and board. During the school year, students work 15 hours per week to pay their tuition, so it’s called Hard Work U. It’s a must-see place; you won’t be disappointed.
