Springfield, MO, to Conway, AR | Rare Visions & Roadside Revelations, Ep. 203

The team tours Missouri and Arkansas starting in Springfield, MO, and ending in Conway, AR. Stops include a visit with painter Robert E. Smith in Springfield; Ralph Lanning's Roadside Sculpture Park in Republic, MO; Quigley's Castle and a giant Ozark shoe tree outside of Eureka Springs, AR; and Tiny Town and the bathhouses of Hot Springs, AR. Michael Brewer, half of the musical duo Brewer and Shipley, sings "I Hate Country" on Highway 76 in Branson, MO. We're sharing an episode of this longtime viewer favorite each Monday on this channel. Launched in 1995, Rare Visions & Roadside Revelations sought out a hidden world of outsider artists and, in a traveling show format, brought their eclectic work to the viewers of public television. The series followed Randy Mason, Mike Murphy and Don the Camera Guy as they loaded up their cramped minivan and hit the road to document grassroots arts environments and offbeat attractions of all kinds, exploring human creativity across 47 states and four time zones. kansascitypbs.org/rarevisions
