renovation

A June of transformation
This photo taken on July 29 shows all work done on the Cassville Democrat facade, with only paint on the new door and tint on the windows still to be finished. Funding for the project was provided by the Cassville Downtown Restoration Fund.

Revitalizing history
Down winding dirt roads between Jenkins and Cato, near the 150-year-old McKinney Cemetery and a stone’s toss from Rockhouse Creek, a piece of Barry County history is getting new life. At one point, Barry County had at least 115 rural one- or two-room school houses, one of which was the Hailey School House in Mineral Spring.
