DEPARTMENTS
TASTE OF MISSOURI
VIVILORE
Independence
Tucked into a 1928 ivy-covered brick building in the Englewood Arts District of Independence, Vivilore combines memorable indoor and garden dining plus a boutique. It’s a terrific spot to pause and unwind. My sister, Trish, and I did just that on a balmy evening while she was visiting from Arizona. Seated near a soothing fountain, blooms and bushes surrounded us in the peaceful patio courtyard. Reimagined, the seasonal menu contains tried-and-true dishes plus new offerings.

REMEMBER WHEN
NEW MADRID COUNTY MUSEUM
New Madrid
Housed in the former Kendall Saloon in a red-brick building next to the levee, the New Madrid Historical Museum is packed with artifacts, photos and interpretive displays that reflect the history of this Mississippi River town. The great earthquakes of 1811 and 1812 are thoroughly documented, and the earthquake exhibits are arguably the major attraction.

PLACES TO STAY
THE EMBERS
Branson
Camping has its purists, but glamping is winning over the rest of us. When I first suggested a glamping stay in Branson, my husband was skeptical...until he saw the set up at The Embers: king bed, indoor plumbing, even air conditioning. The property encompasses 13.5 acres with 17 wooded glamping sites, including two cabins and 50 RV hook-ups with numerous trees in the front.
