Ozark Avalon is a church of nature and nature sanctuary near the Missouri River and Columbia, in central Missouri.
The board is currently considering plans to develop a community of like-minded people building on parcels within the property. One of these is almost completed and another is in process. We are looking for a full time caretaker who has an independent income source.
Visitor Process: Call or email at least a week ahead of time. There are camping facilities available. Check the website to see if there are festivals occurring. Sometimes the entire place is reserved for special events.
