OzarksWatch Video Magazine - A Celebration of People, Places and Traditions

The Ozarks is a region consisting of many geographic sections and characteristics. It is a culture. And most
importantly it is a people. The combination of these are among the most beautiful and unique in America. The Ozarks is a region where traditional crafts, music, religious faith, hard work and self-reliance remain valued and time-honored characteristics. It is a region that’s evolving; treasuring and celebrating its past and embracing its growing and diverse future.

Since 1999 OzarksWatch Video Magazine has documented,
shared and preserved many aspects of this rich heritage. Each episode in the series increases viewers’ knowledge and understanding of the richness and complexity of the Ozarks region while promoting a sense of place for residents and serving as an educational resource.

OzarksWatch Video Magazine — A Celebration of People, Places and Traditions is a 20-year anniversary tribute showcasing the origin, purpose and evolution of the series, and Missouri State University’s longtime commitment to promote and preserve our Ozarks culture.
