Several years ago I subscribed to the OzarksWatch Magazine created and published by Missouri State University (located in Springfield).  I have found this publication to be interesting and informative about the heritage of the Ozark region.

 

It is published quarterly and distributed by subscription only.  You may subscribe, and also order back issues, as well as various anthologies they have put together.  This is a wonderful resource for us Ozarkers, as well as anyone interested in the regional characteristics that create the tapestry of America.  The magazine can be found here, along with ordering information:  OzarksWatch Magazine – MSU

If you live in the Springfield and surrounding viewing area, there is also a television program on the local PBS affiliate (KOZK -Ozarks Public Television) called Ozarks VideoWatch, which is created by the very same people at MSU.  It is a half-hour program that always well worth watching.
