Pulaski County

Pulaski County is an administrative division in Missouri's central Ozarks region, covering wooded hills, caves, and flowing rivers. The landscape shifts between dense forests and open valleys, shaped by limestone formations and natural springs.

The county was established in 1833, named after Revolutionary War general Casimir Pulaski. It witnessed major events during the Trail of Tears and the Civil War era.

The presence of Fort Leonard Wood shapes how the county functions and appears, as military personnel and activities form a central part of daily life across the region.

Interstate 44 and several highways connect the county's communities, making it easy to travel between different areas. Road access to various attractions is straightforward for visitors exploring the region.

Miller Spring is one of only 23 ebb and flow springs in the entire United States, revealing the unusual geological character of the region. This rare natural phenomenon occurs due to specific limestone conditions beneath the ground.
