Fort Leonard Wood is approximately an hour and a half scenic drive from Atlantis Island Condos and is a “must do” day trip for military history buffs. Originally a basic training center in 1940, today Ft. Wood is the only installation that is home to three Army Schools. The installation represents all branches of service, Army, Marine Corp, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard.

The John B. Mahaffey Museum Complex, located at 495 South Dakota Avenue, Fort Leonard Wood, is home to four museums, that are open to the public, and have no admission fees. The four museums document the history of the fort itself, as well as the history of each of the three Army Schools.

The Fort Leonard Wood Museum was established more than 25 years ago and features artifacts from the post’s past. The highlight of this museum is the collection of World War II barracks that depict life at Fort Leonard Wood since the Second World War. Twelve World War II buildings were set aside to preserve the past for future visitors. These buildings include four barracks, two mess halls, three day rooms, two orderly rooms, and a regimental commanders quarters. Exhibits also include artifacts of the Axis prisoner of war camp that housed Italian and German prisoners of war during World War II. This museum also documents the life of the installation’s namesake, Major General Leonard Wood. Major General Leonard Wood was a Medal of Honor recipient, Military Governor of Cuba, and Governor General of the Philippines. In 1910 he was named Chief of Staff of the United States Army, and held this position until 1914. A physician, he is the only medical officer to have ever been named to the Army Chief of Staff position. Fort George G. Meade in Maryland was temporarily renamed Fort Leonard Wood in his honor during the 1920’s but reverted back to it’s current name in the 1930’s. Groundbreaking for Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri was December 3, 1940 and the installation has always retained Major General Leonard Wood as it’s namesake.

  • Second World War Gallery
  • Cold War Gallery
  • New World Order Gallery
  • Topical Gallery
  • Temporary Gallery: The temporary gallery has featured the Second Chemical Mortar Battalion exhibit since October 2004.

    The U.S. Army Military Police Corps Regimental Museum was originally located at Fort Gordon, Georgia and was relocated to Fort McClellan, Alabama in 1975. The museum, along with the United States Army Military Police School, was moved to Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri in 1999 due to the closing of Fort McClellan under the 1995 Base Realignment and Closure’s (BRAC) recommendation. The mission of the museum is “ to collect and preserve the material history of the Military Police of the U.S. Army from 1775 to present. The museum also promotes the heritage and traditions of the Military Police branch and the values of the U.S. Army to Soldiers and civilians through public exhibits, educational programs, and branch training support.”

    Lake of the Ozarks Makes Waves In New Fishing Video Game

    Activision and Fun Labs bring the plentiful bass fishing of the Lake of the Ozarks to your living room. Recently released “Rapala Fishing Frenzy 2009” allows you to virtually fish six authentic lakes, including Central Missouri’s bass rich Lake of the Ozarks. Fishing Frenzy is rated “E” for everyone and can be played on three consoles, Nintendo’s Wii, the Xbox 360, and Playstation 3.

    The game has mixed reviews, mainly due to the game’s identity crisis. Fishing Frenzy has an arcade style feel but also incorporates fishing simulation during play. A big complaint that gamers have is that it is too easy to catch a fish, throwing strategy out the window, and making play unrealistic. A complaint that anglers have is that the length and size of your catch do not jive with real life proportions. The game is tied in to Rapala, the world's largest manufacturer of fishing lures, and lure selection reflects this. Keeping in mind that this game is part of the Activision Value collection, the novelty of fishing The Lake of the Ozarks from my couch, is what hooked me.

    Bridal Cave: Things to Do at the Lake of the Ozarks

    Bridal Cave is located at 526 Bridal Cave Road, two miles north of Camdenton, approximately 30 miles from Atlantis Island Condos. Daniel Boone’ sons, Nathan and Daniel Morgan, are believed to be the first white men to explore the cave. The pair traveled the Osage River, by canoe, from Defiance to the cave. In 1884 Colonel R.G. Scott purchased 5,400 acres of land in the area. His newly acquired tract of land included Bridal Cave, six additional caves, and Ha Ha Tonka. Colonel Scott was a historian and an influential person of his time, attending at least two receptions at the White House. Colonel Scott discovered the Indian legend of the cave and incorporated the marriage of Irona to Prince Buffalo in the cave into his marketing strategy. The stalactites in the room where the two were wed led to the Bridal Veil Cave name that was later shortened to Bridal Cave.

    In 1903 Colonel Scott sold acreage that included Bridal Cave and Ha Ha Tonka to Robert M Snyder, a banker with a colorful history from Kansas City. Mr. Snyder’s main focus of the property seemed to be the bluff overlooking Ha Ha Tonka Spring. He envisioned a large resort on top of the bluff. Mr Snyder did not live to see his vision completed. He`was Kansas City’s first automobile fatality October 27, 1906, while racing another vehicle down Independence Boulevard.

    The cave first opened for the general public in 1948, under the direction of Bridal Cave Development Corporation, who continues to operate the cave today. In 1968 the manager of Bridal Cave started the tradition of the “Underground Opinion Poll”. The diversity of tourist who visit the attraction while vacationing at the Lake of the Ozarks has led to the poll being an accurate barometer of the outcome of the Presidential Election. The poll has accurately predicted the outcome of the election since it’s inception.
    The results of this years unscientific poll show McCain/Palin at 58%, overwhelming Obama/Biden’s 35%.

    The cave is a popular choice as a wedding location and over 2000 couples have exchanged vows in the cave. Wedding packages include lifetime passes to the cave for the bride and groom. A 1950’s postcard states “Numerous weddings are performed in the beautiful Bridal Chapel in Bridal Cave every year. Bridal Cave is one of the top tourist attractions of the nation and is visited by thousands, including over ten thousand honeymoon couples annually”.

    With a year round temperature of 60 degrees the cave is a respite from the heat during the summer months and comfortable during the other seasons. Vintage postcards advertise “More beautiful formations per square foot than any known cave or cavern.“ Mystery Lake is the newest cavern that has been opened to the public and is a part of the tour. The lake is crystal clear and it has been reported that one can clearly see the pebbles at the bottom of the waters 30 feet below the surface. Bridal Cave is open daily at 9 am, year round, only closing on Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Years Day.

    Vintage Postcards of Bagnell Dam

    Before email and text messaging infiltrated our daily lives, postcards were a simple way to stay in touch with loved ones. Postcards were visual documentation of a family’s travels and also were documentation of national and local landmarks. Deltiology is the official name for postcard collecting and is one of the third largest collectable hobbies along with coin and stamp collecting.

    Bagnell Dam was completed and the Lake of the Ozarks began to fill February 1931, which was during the Linen Card Era of postal cards. With The Great Osage River Project having been recognized as one of the greatest engineering and construction feats of its time it was a popular subject for the advanced technology that allowed publishers to print cards on a linen type paper stock with very bright and vivid colors. Bagnell Dam continued to be a popular subject as postal cards advanced into the Modern Photochrome Era. Many shops and tourist attractions along the Bagnell Dam Strip continue to offer postcards today, 77 years after the dams completion.

    Wineries near Atlantis Island Condos, Lake of the Ozarks


    As Featured On Ezine Articles
    Grapes have been cultivated in Misori for a century and a half
    Missouri vintners have been growing grapes and making wine for a century and a half. Tens of thousands of immigrants from Germany, France, Switzerland, and Austria began pioneering to the state as early as 1821. Missouri offered the promises of fertile soil and plentiful game. Abundant timber and waterways, cheap land, low taxes, and political freedom also sweetened the pot. German immigration boomed in the 1830’s after Godfried Duden returned to Germany, after establishing a farm near present day Dutzow and traveling Missouri, and published a report extolling settling in Missouri. Luckily for us, some of these “followers of Duden”, carried carefully-wrapped clippings from their old world vineyards.

    Missouri has seven distinct wine producing regions. The Augusta, Hermann, Ozark Highlands, and Ozark Mountains regions are official American Viticultural Areas. The Lake of the Ozarks is most closely associated as a part of the Ozark Highlands region and also includes the Central Wine region.


    Atlantis Island Condos recommends a local four stop wine tour. This trip will take you through historic Linn Creek (Seven Springs Winery), Camden County’s seat of Camdenton (Casa De Loco Winery), the quaint town of Stover (Grey Bear Vineyard’s & Winery), and the location of one of the first battles of the Civil War, Cole Camp (Eichenberg Winery).


    View Larger Map



    Seven Springs Winery website states “Come for the wine, Stay for the atmosphere, Remember the view!”. The wine tasting at Seven Springs will set you back $7, but includes a souvenir wine glass. The winery is home to nine different wines, Sangria Rojo, Concord Grape Juice, and Boulevard Beer for those who prefer grain over grapes. Menu options include selections of appetizers, lite fare, paninis, hand rolls, salads, and specialty soups and the suggested pairings make it easy to choose a wine by the glass or the bottle.

    Casa De Loco Winery offers scenic views of the Big Niangua river from a property that has a colorful past. Originally a private fishing resort for wealthy St. Louisian’s the property took a spin as a health care facility for the elderly and the mentally ill during the 1970’s. Hence the name, meaning “house of the crazy”. In addition to wine tastings, Casa De Loco also plays host to Murder Mystery Dinner Theater every other Wednesday night through November.

    Grey Bear Winery
    Grey Bear Vineyards & Winery


    Grey Bear Vineyards & Winery has roots in Colorado. The winery itself is architecturally intruiging. The Deltec Home design of round open space can withstand hurricane force winds. This is a popular design style along the coasts but are rare this far inland. The winery offers seventeen wines. Vintner David Fansler has won several awards in both Colorado and Missouri.




    Eichenberg Winery started as a grandfather’s way to recreate a portion of his childhood for his grandchildren. Rodger Leutjen recalled playing with his cousins in the tunnels and mazes of the grape wines. The winery building itself was built in the early 1900’s as a blacksmith shop and has been nominated for the National Historic Register. Eichenberg offers ten wine varieties.

    Atlantis Island Condominiums, Lake Of The Ozarks, Overview

    The Lake of The Ozarks, in central Missouri is easily within driving distance of Chicago, Dallas, Des Moines, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Little Rock, Louisville, Memphis, Omaha, Oklahoma City, and St Louis. The main channel of the Osage Arm stretches 92 miles from end to end and creates over 1,100 miles of shoreline. This gives the area more shoreline than California’s Pacific Coast. The region draws more than 3 million visitors annually and is the most affordable luxury playground in the country.



    Lake of the Ozarks is centrally located


    The area features world class boating, 17 golf courses that will meet the needs of both seasoned duffers and scratch golfers alike, fishing for professionals and for family fun, and shopping from Aeropostale to Zale’s. Hiking, biking, canoeing, kayaking, photography, camping, hunting, and cave exploring are other popular activities.

    The Lake of The Ozarks was formed in 1931 after the completion of the historic Bagnell Dam. Though built to provide hydroelectric power, the resulting lake quickly became a significant tourist destination and resort area. Most of the shoreline on the Lake of the Ozarks is privately owned, and the relatively stable surface elevation has created ideal conditions for private development within a few feet of the shoreline.

    The most unique real estate property at The Lake Of The Ozarks, is Atlantis Island. Located at the 3.5 mile marker, the island will have 230 units in 8 buildings that encircle the island. The centerpiece of the island is the wonderful zero entry pool which is adorned with columns and Romanesque hand painted murals. Around the perimeter of the island and above the seawall is a promenade. Measuring half a mile, it will be a great place to go for a jog or take in the vistas of one of the biggest channels on the lake. With 330 docks, including deep water docks, there will be plenty of dock space around the Island for you to dock your favorite vessel. Atlantis Island Condos are already more than “another condo complex”, it is a community of wonderful people from all walks of life, who gather around the fire pit on the Piazza to socialize and enjoy the views.

    Atlantis Island Is Proactive on Safety

    The newest Fire Boat, partially funded by Atlantis Island Condos, is docked near the ferry landing


    Kernene Shickler, developer of the Atlantis Island Condos project, spoke to Chief Larry Paynter of the Rocky Mount Fire Protection District earlier today. They discussed the process for a 911 emergency on Atlantis Island. Chief Paynter said “the 911 call would come in and be dispatched to Miller County Fire Deptartment. They would dispatch the ambulance that is located at Station #4 on Capple Road right near the Construction Site Bar & Grill at the corner of W and W-12.” The volunteer members would proceed directly from wherever they were to the island and could arrive prior to the ambulance. The ambulance needs to travel about 4 miles. “Some of the volunteers live closer than that”, said Chief Paynter. When the 911 call comes in the Fire Chief would also call the Ferry Captain at Atlantis to coordinate access to the Island. If the Ferry was not available the Fire Boat that is docked on the landing could be used and is equipped with necessary emergency equipment. All the 1st responders are trained in CPR and other emergency skills. When the ambulance arrived it would be equipped with all the same equipment that an ambulance in St. Louis, Chicago or Kansas City would have. He approximated it would probably take 10 minutes for the ambulance to arrive on Atlantis. He said there are some areas of his district where the response time could be over 30 minutes to a location. Atlantis will continue to work with local responders to assure that you can feel safe living on Atlantis Island.

    November Events at The Lake of the Ozarks

    The rugged beauty of the Ozarks Mountains, combined with the tranquil waters of the Lake of The Ozarks, make the area picture perfect in November

    The Arts and the upcoming holiday season take center stage at The Lake of the Ozarks during the month of November. The first weekend in November still nods to the Harvest Season and Halloween as Captain Ron’s presents their 2nd Annual Spookfest. This Halloween party for adults awards gifts and prizes for best costumes. The Carousel of the Arts Festival, a two month long arts festival celebrating the diversity of visual arts, musical arts, performing arts and literature at Lake of the Ozarks continues through November 20th, and this weekend’s highlight is the Gallery Walk. Gallery Walk features fourteen gallery, or exhibit locations, throughout Osage Beach, representing hundreds of artists. Camden County Museum, in Linn Creek, is the place to be Saturday evening for their Dinner Theater event. Tickets are $15 per person and doors open at 5:30 pm with dinner at 6 p.m. Curtain for John Patrick’s two act comedy, set in the New England hamlet of Beaver Haven, “A Bad Year for Tomatoes” is at 7 p.m. Reservations are suggested and can be made by calling 573-873-5101.

    November 8th has a full line up of events. Camden County Museum is another highlight this weekend with their Christmas Craft Fair. Historic downtown Linn Creek is worthy of exploration before heading to the crafter’s paradise at the museum to cross names off of your Christmas shopping list. There is no admission costs associated with this event and lunch is available for a donation. For those who want to slip on their dancing shoes, the Lion’s Club in Lake Ozark is putting on a chili supper and Big Band Dance this evening. Another option this evening, the Show-Me Showboaters Barbershop Chorus perform “College Days”, a reminiscent look back at those good old college years as they sing about the big game, fraternal spirit, and college romances. The performance starts at 7 p.m. at the Royal Theater on the downtown square in Versailles.

    The third weekend in November offers two opportunities to give back to the community. Captain Ron’s hosts the 1st Annual Builder’s Ball for Habitat for Humanity. Builders, suppliers, and laborers will be gathering at the popular lakeside bar and grille to donate everything necessary to build the next house for Habitat. Continuing the fundraising efforts for Habitat for Humanity, the Camden County Nationals, a group of area business leaders, take on the Harlem Ambassadors on the hardwood at Camdenton High School Sunday at 3:00 p.m.. The Ambassadors bring high-energy entertainment, dazzling ball-handling tricks, high-flying slam dunks, and hilarious comedy routines to offer the freshest show basketball presentation today.

    Camden County Museum continues being in the November spotlight the fourth weekend in November. Gingerbread architecture will be judged at 4 p.m. Saturday. Main Street Music Hall, a live music show, kicks off their Christmas show season this weekend and their second performance starts Saturday night at 8 p.m..

    A Thanksgiving dinner at your condominium on Atlantis Island is the perfect setting to give thanks and to spend quality time with your family and loved ones. The beauty of the rugged Ozark Mountains and the waters of the Lake of the Ozarks lend a peaceful and tranquil touch to your family gathering. Nearby Osage Beach Premium Outlets are a great place to jump start your holiday shopping on Black Friday.
