Compared to the rolling mountains of New England, this scenic valley is nestled in the heart of the Missouri Ozarks.

All of my life I had heard of Johnson's Shut-in, and a few years ago I took my family there one Saturday. Since then, I've gone back again to take my youngest son camping in the Valley. I've also taken two other trips back with my entire family. There is so much to do here within just a few miles. In addition to Johnson's Shut-ins, we have also gone to Elephant Rock, the Fort Davidson Historic Site, and Tom Sauk Mountain. The natural terrain is gorgeous. The people are very laid back and friendly. We've had good experiences with two different hotels in the area and found a couple of really good restaurants. There are very few places I love going back to again and again, but Arcadia Valley is one of those places.

Beautiful shop and the clerk that day was extremely helpful in helping me select Christmas gifts for my family, including one with allergies. Bought some of the soaps for myself too. The scents are not too strong, they lather well and are so pretty in the bathroom. Great local shop.
4. Fort Davidson State Historic Site
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 83 reviews
The Confederates under Gen. Sterling Price may have taken the fort, but Union efforts at Fort Davidson in the Battle of Pilot Knob were crucial to blunting the last Confederate offensive into Missouri. Fort Davidson State Historic Site preserves and interprets the running battle through the Arcadia Valley. The site’s open, grassy fields include the fort’s old earthworks, two Confederate burial trenches, and a visitor center with a narrated story of the battle and its context within the Civil War.

We had been at the Missouri Mines park and drove over to check out this site, too. We arrived within an hour of closing so we watched the movie (GREAT!), toured the small museum then went out to walk the grounds of the fort itself. The (perimeter) of the fort was much smaller than we'd anticipated. In the center, all these years later, you can still see the hole left when the powder magazine was exploded. There was no admission fee but they do have a donation collection box. Your visit can be completed in an hour or, if you choose, several hours long. Stop by! You won't regret doing so.
