Shannon
County was organized January 29, 1841 from Ripley and Washington Counties. The
county is named for
George Shannon
of the Lewis and Clark expedition. The County seat is at Eminence Mo. It has the
Current River and Jacks Fork both running through it. Also home of some of
Missouri's prettiest springs - Alley Springs and Round Springs. And, there is
Peck Ranch and Rocky Falls. A lot of natural beauty abounds in the area. These
areas are big tourists attractions - a lot of camping, canoeing, float trips,
hiking, trail rides, etc.
