  • This is in HaHaTonka State Park in Missouri.  This was a large home that Robert Snyder built to rival the huge castles in Europe.  It must have been grand.  But, alas, it burned down in 1942 and then became a state park in 1976.  I guess that explains why our folks never took us to see it when we used to visit the Ozarks every summer when we were kids. 



    I actually took this aerial shot of the ruins, not from a helicopter, but from a poster we ran across in the Ozark Maid Candy store.  The lady behind the counter was sure that I'd want to spend the $9.95 to buy the poster, rather than just have a snap shot of it, but this is fine and filled my purpose to a T.

  • Don't you know that those walls could tell lots of stories. I'm with you on  the picture of the poster. Looks like you did take it from the helicopter.:lol: Have a blessed week & God keep you safe.  HUGS

  • What a beautiful place.   I bet it is filled with ghosts.   Think of the stories.   

    And the previous pic of the lace curtains is gorgeous!

  • It must have been grand. I'm with you--what would you do with a poster? The snapshot is great!

  • A certain sadness to lost homes, be they grand or not.
