DESCRIPTION:McCormick is is an eighth-generation Ozarks native hailing orig
 inally from Aurora\, Missouri. His photographs have appeared in a number o
 f regional publications including a featured edition of Ozarks Watch Magaz
 ine. His first book “Abandoned Ozarks” was included as part of Font Hill P
 ublishing’s series “America Through Time.” His work has been recognized fo
 r the photographic preservation of abandoned historical and culturally sig
 nificant structures in the Ozarks region. Robert studied at Southwest Miss
 ouri State University and has resided in Forsyth\, Missouri for the last t
 wenty-five years.\nAbandoned Ozarks II: Forgotten Schoolhouses is another 
 nostalgic trip through time with acclaimed regional photographer and autho
 r Robert A. McCormick. In his first book Abandoned Ozarks Southwest Missou
 ri: Preserving the Past\, McCormick focused on a wide array of abandoned a
 nd decaying structures from farms and rural communities in the mountainous
  Ozarks region of Southwest Missouri. This time out McCormick centers on a
 bandoned schoolhouses from the entire Ozarks region of Missouri and Arkans
 as. In this new volume McCormick explores the history of early education i
 n the remote rural areas of the beautiful Ozark Mountain country and the s
 ociological impact of these forgotten gems of early America. McCormick’s r
 esearch is paired with expertly rendered photographs of these abandoned an
 d mostly forgotten buildings which were once the social centers of far-flu
 ng outposts from a time when the roads weren’t paved\, electricity was a f
 ar-off dream and education was often a luxury for the hardscrabble mountai
 n folk of the Ozarks. In his evocative photos you’ll explore the many diff
 erent styles of old schoolhouse\, from simple log structures to giraffe-st
 one vernacular to sturdy stone buildings built by the Works Progress Admin
 istration during the Great Depression.\nThe event is free and open to all.
  Light refreshments will be served. \nAbandoned Ozarks II: Forgotten Schoo

 ica Through Time.” His work has been recognized for the photographic prese
 rvation of abandoned historical and culturally significant structures in t
 he Ozarks region. Robert studied at Southwest Missouri State University an
 d has resided in Forsyth\, Missouri for the last twenty-five years.</p>\n<
 p>Abandoned Ozarks II: Forgotten Schoolhouses is another nostalgic trip th
 rough time with acclaimed regional photographer and author Robert A. McCor
 mick. In his first book Abandoned Ozarks Southwest Missouri: Preserving th
 e Past\, McCormick focused on a wide array of abandoned and decaying struc
 tures from farms and rural communities in the mountainous Ozarks region of
  Southwest Missouri. This time out McCormick centers on abandoned schoolho
 uses from the entire Ozarks region of Missouri and Arkansas. In this new v
 olume McCormick explores the history of early education in the remote rura
 l areas of the beautiful Ozark Mountain country and the sociological impac
 t of these forgotten gems of early America. McCormick’s research is paired
  with expertly rendered photographs of these abandoned and mostly forgotte
 n buildings which were once the social centers of far-flung outposts from 
 a time when the roads weren’t paved\, electricity was a far-off dream and 
 education was often a luxury for the hardscrabble mountain folk of the Oza
 rks. In his evocative photos you’ll explore the many different styles of o
 ld schoolhouse\, from simple log structures to giraffe-stone vernacular to
  sturdy stone buildings built by the Works Progress Administration during 
 the Great Depression.</p>\n<p>The event is free and open to all. Light ref
 reshments will be served. </p>\n<p><a href='https://www.facebook.com/event
