Mr. Ed's Drive In
Fast food restaurant
👍 This place hits the spot I love their menu and I appreciate the malts not many still make them. If you like classic American food check them out their worth it. There are bathrooms around back and you can order inside or out and you cane dine inside or out.

Booneville Bar
Bar
👍👍 I am visiting and I am not a local. I'm from Pittsburgh. I felt at home and the regulars were friendly and talkative. It is a mix of farmers and blue colored workers as the regulars that are the daily crowd. Its a small town bar but the Upper Class are mixed in on the weekends. But everyone is there...

Would give 5 stars if there were more markers with better signage to figure out the history. More pictures would be excellent for ki...

Kuehn Conservation Area
Park
👍👍 I love Kuehn. Great for birding, less trafficked than other more known parks in the area - especially when you hit the trails. Several miles of trails through woods, prairie, and along the river. Several hike in camping sites available.

Timberline Campground
Campground
😠 Let’s start with the one and only good thing about this camp ground. The pool was clean.
The shower room floors are disgusting and constantly have standing water with no where to put your items.
The play ground equipment is very outdated & dangerous. The sites are entirely too close. The gun range i...
