• Laura Ingalls Wilder Home and Museum is about a mile away. It is open to the public from early spring 'til mid-fall.
• The Wilder Festival each September includes a pageant, parade, music and contests as well as crafts booths. This is a "must see!"
• Rocky Ridge Day, in October, is another local festival relating to the historic home of the Wilders; when special celebrities visit the home.
• Mansfield is only some thirty minutes away from Springfield, Missouri, where you can visit the Bass Pro Shop or the new Wonders of Wildlife Museum. This also means it is close to Branson and Silver Dollar City. There you can shop for antiques or outlet bargains, take in a show or two, or dine at a fine restaurant. Just a short drive from Branson is the Passion Play in Eureka Springs, Arkansas.
• The second Saturday in May is a local festival called Butter Day. This reflects the heritage of the county as a leader in dairy production. It is celebrated with a carnival and a variety of activities; including music, contests and a parade.
• There are also a number of events found in neighboring communities. Ava (about 11 miles south) hosts the several Festivals in June and views along the Glade Top Trail in October. Ava is also home to the world famous Fox Trotting Horse Breed Association Shows in June and Labor Day week. Ava is also an old town with much colorful history and quaint shops.
• At Seymour (about a 15 minute drive) you'll find similar types of shops and atmosphere. There is a large settlement of Amish in Seymour. There is also an old country store where you can buy bulk foods and antiques. Down the road is another shop where you'll find Amish handcrafts. In early fall the town has their Apple Fest, with a parade, truckloads of crafts and a real hometown atmosphere.
• There are other activities and events throughout the area too numerous to document here, such as: Mansfield's Weekly Music Jamboree, Hand-made Quilt Shows, and Antique Auto Shows.

A huge collection of Christian books are at your disposal to read or do research while you visit. There are also books on other subjects; such as gardening and art.

• Access to the parlor, with its unique stone fireplace (pictured above) is made by way of the original mahogany staircase leading from the second floor.
• Adjacent to the parlor is the dining room, where a full gourmet breakfast is served each morning of your stay. (Special food requirements are no problem, please let us know when making your reservation.)

When you visit the Born Again B&B we want you to feel at home. As your host, I'll be there to see to your individual needs. If you want to sit and visit, I can do that. If, on the other hand, you want to be left alone, I can do that too. While this is my home and you are a visitor, I hope you'll feel like part of my family.

It is my hope that you will choose the Born Again B&B for your next stay in our area. I look forward to ministering in hospitality to you....Jim, your host. The owner is currently pursuing having the home put on the National Register of Historic Homes.
