Now that spring has finally come to the Ozarks, our thoughts turn to where we might visit this years. The Springfield tv news, tonight, provided an interesting possibility. The story was of the Ozark Medieval Fortress being built in Lead Hill, AR, which overlooks Bull Shoals lake - a 20 year project, that will be open for public tours starting May 1, 2010 - just a month away. The opening scene on the web site is marvelous! I am really looking forward to this development.
The project is using 13th century building techniques. They want to reproduce with utmost authenticity the technology used the 13th century with the only limitation being safety. "Every stage of work is validated by a committee of scientists to ensure the credibility of the building."
Be sure to check out the rope with 13 knots. They do seek volunteers and interns. Be sure to check out the Scientific Team under About Us. What do you think?
The Photo Gallery has photos back to the Summer of 2009.. neat! The Press Release has a great overview and excellent downloadable graphics.
I signed up for the newsletter, I'll bet you did to!
If you haven’t visited the Ozarks region, yet, you should, soon!

This is really cool looking! Especially after seeing medieval fortresses in Europe, this would be interesting to see.
