Dripstone Tour, Blanchard Springs Caverns

Blanchard Springs Caverns
A trip to the Ozarks just would not be complete without a walk through a cave or two. For a small fee you can see one of the most spectacular caverns in North America, Blanchard Springs Caverns. Blanchard is owned and operated by the U.S. Forest Service. There's a great little bookstore and gift shop loaded with things Ozark, a great outdoor park which makes one of the best places in the Ozarks for a picnic, and three cave tours. The Dripstone and Discovery tours of the caverns are easy guided strolls through impressive formations, pools, and karst geology. The Wild Cave Tour is a true caving experience. Recommended only for the physically fit, the Wild Cave Tour lets you get down on your belly as you crawl through some small spaces. If you want the Wild Side of the cave, this is the tour for you!

Historic Wolf House Settlement

Historical Buildings
Both the Wolf Settlement and Rapps Barren village are free. Both are only 15 minutes from Fish and Fiddle. The Wolf Settlement was built in 1829 and was both home to the Major Jacob Wolf family and county courthouse. Major Wolf was the Indian agent appointed to this area in 1809 by President Thomas Jefferson. Many of the most famous names from the early 1800's set foot in this house. Davy Crockett, Wild Bill Hickock, Sam Houston, and many others came to trade, rest, and discuss the news with the Wolf family. Rapps Barren village at Cooper Park in Mountain Home has cabins from a slightly later period.
