The Osceola Cheese Store Osceola , Missouri Nation’s Largest Cheese Store
The Osceola Cheese Store has been a fixture in these parts since 1944 when W.K. Scott and his wife Ruth decided they wanted to tinker in the cheese making business. They called it Riverview Cheese then and nearly 1000 dairy farms in the area supplied milk for the cheese.
Business grew nicely for nearly 25 years until the Army Corps of Engineers began flooding 260 square miles of west-central Missouri to form Truman Lake. Osceola Cheese had to move up the hill to its current, very visible location on Highway 13.
That’s about the time Chris Hannah started hanging out at the cheese store. His mother worked there, and during the busy Christmas season, he would help pack orders that were shipped around the country.
It’s been more than 35 years since Hannah earned his first paycheck from the Osceola Cheese Store. Now, he and his wife, Lisa, manage the business.
The Osceola Cheese Store is considered the largest domestic cheese store in the United States, Hannah thinks. The store carries more than 200 kinds of domestic cheeses. Wisconsin string cheese is their best seller. On an average day, the Osceola Cheese Store sells about 1,000 pounds of cheese, along with crackers, sauces, jams and other goodies.
The most unusual flavor is Chocolate Cheese, which tastes a lot like fudge. But a flavor that is quickly gaining in popularity is a creation by Chris and Lisa Hannah’s son, Duel. A blend of javelina and Monterey Jack with a nice infusion of Ghost Pepper, which is well-known as the world’s hottest chili pepper, they’ve appropriately named the product “Hotter Than Hell.”
The Osceola Cheese Store no longer relies on local dairy cows to make these many varieties of cheese. Instead, “happy cows” in Wisconsin and a few in Ohio contribute to the goodies found on Missouri Highway 13, exactly half-way between Branson and Kansas City. #youtubesmittytravels #travelvlog #smittytravels

Civil War History - Osceola, Missouri Historic Marker
History about the town of Osceola, Missouri:
Located on the Osage River, the land that became the town of Osceola was inhabited by the tribe of Native Americans who gave the river its name. Two treaties, in 1808 and 1825, signed by the Osage and the U.S. government gave up all the tribe's land in Missouri. With the way cleared for non-native settlers, more people began to arrive in the St. Clair County area in the mid-1830s. The first home was built in the future Osceola in the winter of 1835. Osceola was laid out in 1841. It was named for Osceola, chief of the Seminole tribe.
The town was the site of the September 1861 Sacking of Osceola by Jayhawkers in which the town was burned and its courthouse looted. The event inspired the 1976 Clint Eastwood film The Outlaw Josey Wales. Prior to the attack the town had a population of around 2,500. However, fewer than 200 residents remained after the event and the population has never again approached those numbers. In September 2011, lingering bad feelings over the raid and the sesquicentennial of the event prompted the Osceola Board of Aldermen to pass a resolution asking the University of Kansas no longer to use Jayhawk as their mascot and nickname. Further, the resolution asks Missouri residents to stop spelling Kansas or KU with a capital letter because neither is a proper name or a proper place.
The Osceola Public School Building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.

ABOUT MECUM
Family owned and operated since its inception in 1988, Mecum Auctions today is ranked No. 1 in the world for number of collector cars offered at auction annually, currently standing at more than 15,000 vehicles each year. The company is also ranked No. 1 in the world for number of collector cars sold at auction, No. 1 in the United States for number of auction venues, No. 1 in the U.S. for total dollar volume of sales, and additionally, is host to the world’s largest annual collector car auction held in Kissimmee, Florida.
Headquartered in rural Walworth, Wisconsin, Mecum holds classic and collector car auctions throughout the United States including annual events in Houston and Dallas, Texas; Kansas City, Missouri; Indianapolis; the Chicago area; Monterey, California; and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, to name a few, with additional cities added to the auction calendar each year. With each auction open to buyers, sellers and spectators, these have become popular lifestyle events for all car enthusiasts to enjoy with family and friends alike whether it be to search out that next elusive automobile to add to a collection, or just to browse the vast array of vehicular history on display with most events presenting from 500 to 3,000 cars.
“We’ve come a long way from our first official auction at the Rockford Airport in 1988,” notes President and Founder Dana Mecum. “We’re really a family business that grew up and got big. Our goal has always been to give Mecum Auction attendees an amazing experience and unite them with an incredible car they will enjoy.”
Mecum Auctions’ team members pride themselves, above all else, on an exceedingly high level of customer service and a solid reputation for strong results with decades of record-setting sales to demonstrate such. Notable sales include the 2014 sale in Houston of the 1964 Ford GT40 Prototype for a hammer price of $7 million, the 2012 sale in Monterey of the 1972 Porsche L&M 917/10 Spyder that brought $5.5 million, as well as the 2009 sale of the 1965 Shelby Daytona Cobra Coupe in Monterey that demanded $7.25 million. However, Mecum is best-known for its unprecedented achievements in the realms of American classic muscle cars and Corvettes, holding records among the most valuable examples from each genre ever to be sold at auction including the 2014 sale of the 1971 Plymouth Hemi Cuda convertible in Seattle that hammered for $3.5 million and the 2013 sale of a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette L88 convertible in Dallas for $3.2 million.
Finding this niche in the collector car market was more than sheer coincidence. Dana Mecum was able to successfully live out two key pieces of advice most people hear many times throughout their lives, “See a need, fill a need,” and, “Do what you love.”
Dana was born into the car business—his father Edward Mecum has been selling cars for more than 60 years, beginning with Studebakers and Packards in the early 1950s. Dana got his start with collector cars by trading a fleet of used, over-the-road tractor trailers for a group of collector cars in 1987.
“At that time, the big collector car auctions were Auburn, Arizona and April in Rockford, which had just gone out of business,” Dana explains. “So in 1988, I held my first auction in that marketplace with the simple intent of selling off that inventory.”
But it wouldn’t prove to be simple. A tornado wiped through the Rockford Airport—where Dana was entertaining guests and auctioning cars—downing trees and destroying tents in its path. Still, the tragic and abrupt end to Dana’s first auction wasn’t enough to stop him from trying again.
The following year, Dana held a second auction to recoup money and pay the bills. The third auction in 1990 was the company’s first real success, and with that, the wheels were set in motion and Mecum Auctions began to build its powerhouse reputation.
“Not being a part of the old guard of collector car auctions, we soon developed our own clientele by offering Corvettes, Camaros and Chevelles when the rest of the market was selling Packards and Model As,” Dana explains. “At one point, we had 28 auctions a year! We made the decision to grow vertically with fewer auctions, right at the time the muscle-car market took off. That market has really become part of our DNA, but we’re continually expanding to bring all makes and models to auction,” he adds.

A Brief Account Of The Life Of Gunfighter Cole Younger
A Brief Account Of The Life Of Gunfighter Cole Younger.
What don't I know about Cole Younger?
Thomas Coleman Younger, called Cole by friends and family, was born on January 15th, 1844 in Jackson County, Missouri. He was the 7th child of 14 and second son of 4 to Henry Washington Younger and Bersheba Leighton Fristoe Younger.
Henry moved with his family to Missouri when he was young and in 1857 became one of Jackson and Cass counties largest land owners after buying several hundred acres of land in Cass County.
He owned a livery and dry goods store in the newly platted town of Harrisonville, as well as a federal mail contract in western Missouri and eastern Kansas.
On July 20, 1862 while Henry was returning from Kansas City he was shot three times in the back. He died right there on the road.
His death would forever change his family and many others.
The murder was believed by the Youngers and others to have been committed by Union soldier Irvin Walley. Referred to by some as Captain Walley. Walley even confessed to the crime but, because the witnesses had been killed in an ambush while on their way to the trial the trial was canceled and charges were eventually dropped. The Youngers never sought revenge, apparently because their mother asked them not to.
This event was what Cole Younger always claimed was the reason for his entry to outlawry after the war ended.
But, what don't I know about Cole Younger
As to Coles entry and service to the southern army, there had been a party that Cole and his sister attended where Irvin Walley and a few union soldiers entered rudely demanding dances from the girls attending. All the girls, including Coles sister refused. Walley asked Cole where Quantrill was, Cole said he didn't know. Walley called him a liar. Cole smacked him and the two went down fighting. Several of Coles friends stopped Walley from drawing his gun and advised Cole to take his sister home.
Cole did just that and told his father what happened. His father told him to hit the brush, meaning to go into hiding and stay hid.
Before Cole could leave, Walley and a band of union soldiers came to the house with orders from a General Neugent accusing Cole of being a spy for Quantrell and demanded that Cole be handed over to them.
According to some, the elder Younger allowed the search...which turned up nothing. The soldiers left empty handed.
When someone hits the brush they aren't seen unless they want to be seen.
For the next little while in the area, a few chickens, some corn and other vegetables came up missing, and occasionally a little milk, cheese and butter disappeared from spring houses.
Tensions increased daily.
On July 5, 1861, 17 year old Cole joined General Sterling Prices Missouri State Guard. In October that same year he left the guard and joined Quantrills Raiders, living a double life as a bushwacker and a peaceful home loving boy.
Cole was involved in many skirmishes and raids during the war. Including the raid on Lawrence Kansas which was called the Lawrence Massacre on August 21, 1863.
The raid was said to be in retaliation for Jayhawkers and Red Legs attacking civilians and towns in Missouri since the beginning of the war, as well as the collapse of the womens prison in Kansas City just a week before the massacre on the 13th of August.
Also brought up was the raid by Red Legs on Osceola. The town of 2,077 people was plundered and burned to the ground, 200 slaves were freed and nine local citizens were swiftly court-martialed and executed.
Lawrence was chosen for the raid because of the many Jayhawkers and Red Legs stationed there. As was their main target Senator James Lane who founded the Jayhawkers, also called the Kansas Brigade or Lane's Brigade during the Bleeding Kansas era just before the beginning of the Civil War.
After the war ended a few of the remaining raiders stayed together as a gang and began robbing trains and banks for living. That gang became known as the James – Younger gang. They worked together mostly, but occasionally went their own ways.
On the 13th of February, 1866, the James/Younger gang robbed their first bank at Liberty, Missouri.
