Local Tips
Hermitage overlooks Pomme de Terre Lake, one of Missouri's best bass fishing lakes managed by the Army Corps of Engineers. The county's cattle operations in the surrounding Ozark hills reflect the agricultural heritage of the Pomme de Terre watershed.
The Fair
The Hickory County Fair, based in Hermitage, celebrates a small Ozark fringe county on Pomme de Terre Lake where cattle farming, timber, and the lake recreation economy coexist in a county where the Pomme de Terre River's impoundment created one of Missouri's finest bass fishing lakes.
What You'll Find There
Expect livestock shows, 4-H competitions, local food vendors, and the small-county community spirit of an Ozark lake county where cattle farming and outdoor recreation share the landscape.
