Ha Ha Tonka






Today Mumsie and I went to Ha Ha Tonka State Park. The story of Ha Ha Tonka is pretty interesting. Basically, a rich dude came to the Ozarks, thought it was beautiful, and decided to build a castle to live in. Then he died, the family had a hard time keeping it together, and the castle and surrounding buildings burned down. Then Missouri bought the land and made a state park. You can read the story here. The top photo is the castle and the middle is part of the carriage house. It is really fun to hike around there!
