Neosho travel guide

Neosho, incorporated in 1878, is a city located at the western edge of the Missouri Ozarks serving as the county seat of Newton County, Missouri, United States.
The name Neosho (originally niˈoʒo or niˈoʒu) is generally accepted to be of Native American (most likely Osage) derivation, meaning "clear, cold water", referring to the nine natural springs found within the original city limits. One of Neosho's largest and most well-known springs is located near the historic downtown in the city's main park, the aptly-named Big Spring Park. Many other springs can still be found throughout the city including Bell's Iron Spring and Hobo Springs. Legend suggests that Confederate gold is buried somewhere within the town, as well. Some believe that a cave holds both the remains of the soldiers as well as the gold itself. Others contend that the cave, adjacent to Big Spring Park, was closed after a number of local children were lost forever while exploring the cave in the early 20th century. (...) more....
