In this Ozarks Tonight, Jenifer Abreu talks to Kaitlyn McConnell, author of Ozarks Alive, about her latest article – “That time McDonald County seceded from Missouri.”
It all started in 1961 when McDonald County wasn't going to be printed on a map being created by the State Highway Department.
Residents in McDonald County didn’t like that very much, in fact, they disliked it so much they thought they could do their own thing and secede from the state.
