Missouri State Parks films from the early 1960's- check these out!



These are quite a slice of americana.  I found them on Youtube and just had to share.  Not only to you get a chance to see how the parks were in the early 60's....but you get a chance to see how people were as well.  I found these to be really interesting, and quite funny at times.  In one of these films, they were suggesting to use the park cabins as part of a honeymoon package.  I can go with that, no problem, but the way it was portrayed had me rolling on the floor- be looking for it!





In part 3, a lot of the springs and parks that they are referencing are now a part of the National Park Service along the Current River.




There is a part of part 4 where you can see the Buzzards Roost Outlook at Mark Twain State Park....before the lake (with a view of just the Salt River)

I just had to share these.  Big fan of Missouri State Parks!

Hike ON!
