Great little video on the some of the history re: Lunenburg. As always, Denny provides great insight on the various historical treasures of Izard County............well worth the time to view.
The place you referred to as the Old Shannon place where partial foundation is left and the barn still standing was my grandparents old homestead and my mother grew up. My grandfather is the one who built that barn many years ago and Mr. Teague has kept it up. My grandparents were TJ and Addie Adkisson and my mother is Rachel (Adkisson) Murray she attended the Lunengurg school when she was a child. The place now belongs to John Teague a few weeks back my daughter and I took my mom to see the place and Mr. Teague took us around to where the molasses was made and to see all the beautiful springs, (there is even a bubbling spring) as well as tell us some interesting stories. Thank you for sharing the video, since my mother has alzheimer's this is something she has enjoyed watching and reminiscing.
Thank you for sharing this! We love it when folks stop by and give their personal thoughts. My reference to it being the Shannon place was based upon faulty reasoning. A lesson for me, actually. Thanks again!
I know that this is a common claim people make around the world, but to me the Ozarks of Arkansas truly is God's Country! This site will be dedicated to showing anyone interested--Sunday motorists to fair-weather cyclists--some of the hidden treasures in the county they drive through.
Over the past several years, with the explosion of the popularity of custom car-clubs and motorcycle enthusiasts, Izard county has seen a parade of people from outside the area coming to enjoy the panoramic views from the comfort of their chosen mode of pleasurable transportation. Many, I'm absolutely sure, drive by sights that are easily accesible and not far off the highway never even knowing those sights are there. This blog will give anyone searching for information before they visit the area a way to know where some of those places are.

I have a painting of the Lunenburg schoolhouse, painted from a photo taken in 1968. My dad went to school there.
