Try the Pig Trail, Ozark Highlands and Sylamore scenic byways in the Ozark National Forest designated by the U.S. Forest Service.

A haunting, yet at the same time very moving reminder that, despite the efforts of a few who cannot read or chose to disregard our Constitution, we’re all the same, just different.

This is a small site -- the museum is just one room. But I really recommend it. I stopped in because of a personal connection. My grandfather grew up in Paris, and used to tell stories about working in the coal mines as a teenager. My wife and I detoured through Paris on a recent road trip just to see the town and visit this site. I never dreamed that they would actually have so much information about individuals who worked in the mines. The curator who was there helped us find all kinds of information -- dates when my grandfather, great-grandfather, and great uncles worked in the mines, which mines they worked in, and even a newspaper clipping about. The even had an old photograph of the particular mine where my grandfather had worked. Although this seems like a modest site, they really have done a ton of research. The museum, though small, is also really interesting. They have lots of things on display, like old carbide mining lamps and other things that show you what working in the mines was like. Also, admission to the museum is free, though donations are welcome.

Alma has made a really beautiful park type area around the Popeye statue. It is the gem of downtown, really close to the high school.
