Does the sight of a Precious Moments figurine cause your heart
to beat a little faster? Then you'll love your visit to Carthage
and the Precious Moments Chapel, 4321 Chapel Rd, 417-358-7599.
Tours start about every 30 minutes and will give you a chance
to view 15 beautiful stain glass windows and 54 painted murals
covering 5,000 square feet of wall. If you're the tender-hearted
type, you'd better have a Kleenex handy when the tour guide explains
the largest mural, Hallelujah Square.
On the grounds you'll also find a European Village with storybook
cottages, a castle, a waterfall, the Resurrection Cave, the Fountain
of Angles, the Precious Moments Lake, and Dusty's Honeymoon Island.
For two extra dollars you can tour the home of Sam Butcher, Precious
Moments creator. This complex also features several gift shops,
two restaurants, and they even have their own RV park, 4000 Oak
Hill Rd, 417-358-1389, so you can stay as long as you like.
And don't forget to explore the rest of Carthage while you
are here. History buffs will enjoy stopping at the Historic Phelps
House, 1146 Grand Ave, 417-358-1776; and the Civil War Museum,
205 Grant St, 417-237-7060. While shoppers will have fun discovering
stores like the Ozarkland Gift Shop, 5638 S Grand Ave, 417-358-6380;
the Second Street Gallery, 308 W 2nd St, 417-358-5252; and Lily
Pad Gifts,311 S Main St, 417-358-1866.

300 N Garrison Ave, 417-358-4951; or Bryant's Family Restaurant,
800 W Central Ave, 417-358-0016. To end your day on a sweet note,
drop in at Carthage Deli & Ice Cream, 301 S Main St, 417-358-8820.
