A railroad station named Hart City was established in 1893 and the town was officially incorporated as Hartsburg in 1901. It was a farming community of hard-working and religious immigrants. Electricity came to town in 1919, earlier than most Missouri communities. An electric cooperative was established in 1929. Fundraising was handled by the Progressive Committee, which is still in existence today. Twice a year, fall and spring fund raisers help purchase street lights, pave the roads, install Christmas decorations, upgrade the park or whatever else the little town needs.

Hartsburg Missouri History

Another wonderful place to stop is the Lions Club Park on the outskirts of Hartsburg toward the river. It has a nice ball field, concessions, and playground equipment, and may remind you of “Field of Dreams” as it is nestled within crop fields. The Lions Club is quite active in the community, providing the recent fireworks shows, hosting fundraisers, and being a hub for local youth athletic events. Along with the Lions Club is the Hartsburg American Legion Post 424 which also provides fundraisers for special needs, along with be ing a community center for events. The hall is available for rent, and is a great place to host family reunions, birthdays, etc. One can find a bevy of events and activities by going to Face book sites such as “Hartsburg Happenings,” “Hartsburg Farmers Market,” and of course the “Hartsburg Pumpkin Festival.” Or one can simply take a walk around the four-block square of downtown Hartsburg and just enjoy the quaint shops and peaceful scenery.

In the 1870’s Luther D. Hart and Aurelias B. Hart bought several hundred acres of land in the area and started farming. Soon they sold a right-of-way to the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad, known as the MKT, or Katy.

Places.Thisbrings us to the Hart Creek Conservation area which is lo cated about a mile or so outside of Hartsburg along the Hart Creek Road. The Missouri Department of Conservation states, “This area is 657-acres of managed forest, woodland, and bluff natu ral communities, with a few scattered oldfields. A multi-use hik ing and bicycling trail runs through forested hills and limestone/ dolomite cliffs. The area features a wooden overlook, a two-acre fishing lake, and a primitive camping area accessible by the adjacent Katy Trail State Park. The area offers pub lic hunting, fishing, wildlife watching opportunities.”

By: Ernie Wren Hartsburg, MO is probably best known locally for the annual “Pumpkin Festival” in October with the many different types of crafts and food, along with a fun parade, and thousands of par ticipants. The mention of Hartsburg may also bring thoughts of enjoying live music and great food at “The Burg,” or a refreshing drink at the “Hitching Post.” These are wonderful attractions in this small town, but there are many other adventures a family can enjoy in and around the Hartsburg community.Hartsburg has a long history. Lu ther and Aurelias Hart purchased several hundred acres in the bot tom lands and started farming there in 1870. About this time, they sold rights-of-way to the Missouri-Kan sas-Texas Railroad (MKT) which now makes up the Katy Trail. In 1893 a railroad station named “Hart City” was established, and the town was officially incorporated as Harts burg in 1901. The town has been continually improved upon by the Progressive Committee, with bi-an nual fundraisers that helps the city purchase streetlights, pave roads, install Christmas decorations, upgrade the park, and handle other needs as they came intori/).(https://www.visitcolumbiamo.com/directory/hartsburg-missoualong.AccordingtotheUnitedStatesCensusBureau,whichappearsvaryfromsitetosite,Hartsburghadapopulationofabout1222011,andtodayhoversaround120. Next to the Katy Trail, one can find a nice bench upon to rest, children can play on playground equipment, and visitors can view the Katyrest Caboose in Hartsburg Park. For those wishing to camp overnight, there is the Hart Creek Retreat and the Hartsburg Trailhead which offer the opportunity to pitch tents. Close to the park is the Samuel E. Hackman Building, also referred to as the A.L. Barner Hardware Company Building, at 30 S. Second Street. It is a historic commercial building built in 1897 with an iron and frame storefront and is listed on the National Register of Historic

Hartsburg

Today the population hovers around 108. The town is home to two churches, two taverns, a winery, a cafe, an antique restoration business and, in the summer and fall, fresh produce stands. Often you’ll see a coffee can sitting on a picnic table and customers pay on the honor system. The Hartsburg Pumpkin Festival is held each year on the second Saturday and Sunday of October, which includes games, foods, and crafts. Each year during the festival tens of thousands come to eat and shop at the numerous venues and food booths.

Operating hours are 4am to 10pm. For those that like to fish the lake, you will find good fishing for bass, blue gill, and crappie, as well as a fair number of catfish.

Ashland City Hall

New Ashland Mayor Dorise Slinker is excited for Ash land’s future for planned, quality growth. After a year of construction - a round-about and re-fitting the new city hall at Broadway and Main and the hunt for a new city administrator - Slinker says he is optimistic about overseeing quality growth in

recently, new City Administrator Kyle Michel came on board this spring. From the Des Moines area, Michel will bring a fresh perspective to the challenges of a growing Ashland. “He’s very smart and done a great job so far,” Slinker added. “I put a lot of faith in Kyle - in fact, I have a lot of confidence in all of the people in leadership positions in the City, - the police chief, maintenance department, water department and so on - and they will make my job a lot easier.”

Slinker said that Ashland will continue to grow and he will embrace that growth. “We’re going to grow at least 5-percent population in the next several years and the east side commercial area will blossom,” he said, “and we need everyone to accept that growth - we need to plan for that growth.” (Author Bruce Wallace)

Dorise Slinker

Ashland, located between Columbia and Jefferson City, reported 3,956 residents in the 2020 censusa number that would now exceed 4,000 - and has tripled in growth in the past two decades. The city includes 4.8 square miles, however that number is growing as well as the city is extending its boundaries as new housing projects take root.

The City itself moved to a new home last year, pur chasing the old YMCA facility at the corner of Broad way and Main Street. “It has worked out great,” Slinker said. “It is a great location with plenty of parking and can house our police department along with our city Morehall.”

“TheAshland.new Amazon facility will be up and running soon and I think it will be the first of many,” Slinker said. The Amazon distribution center project puts as many as 300 trucks coming and going from the Cart wright Technology Park near the airport. “We are also working with Next Site, a commercial development advisory firm to help us locate more growth for that area, as well as the commercial site at Route Y and Highway 63. “I understand both sides of the ‘growth’ discussion,” Slinker said, “but as we’ve seen in recent years, growth is coming to Ashland - the key is to plan for growth. I understand we need wider roads, sidewalks and our schools are growing. But when we add jobs and tax dollars to the community, it can be a positive thing.”

The community responds to the students’ efforts by funding district-wide efforts for facilities through bond issues, fund raisers and scholarship efforts. From sponsoring youth activities ranging from basketball to art classes and more than $500,000 in scholarships annually, the Southern Boone business community also plays and enthusiastic role in the drive for Eagle Pride.

Branch said that effort fosters pride - in students as well as parents. “Eagle Pride is having pride in the school district, but also pride in our community. It’s the community coming together to support the district and to support the kids.”

Southern Boone

It all starts when the youngest Eagles attend the Primary School.“Itstarts with just getting together in those monthly assemblies as a school and teaching kids to have pride in their school and how to take care of it,” said SoBoCo School Board member and retired teacher/coach Crystal Branch. “We have fund raisers at each school, for instance, to raise money for the playground - kids doing things for their own school building.”

Eagles Pride is more than just wearing school colors to an athletic contest and cheering for the localEagleteam.Pride includes getting students excited about achieving their highest potential scores in the classroom, fund raising for local as well as national charities and volunteering to make a difference in the community.

The new station will also serve as a training area for firefighters for natural cover fires.

Southern Boone’s 6-5 victory over the Marshall baseball team in 11 evenings (note that high school baseball games are typically seven innings) was a nail biter from beginning to end. Taking a 2-run lead over the Eagles in the second inning, the Marshall Owls continued to expand that lead until the seventh inning in which the Eagles tied the game 5-5 just in time to take it into extra innings. Twice the Eagles had bases loaded and ended the innings without scores until the bottom of the 11th inning, with rain falling, did they put it away with a walk off run. The win over Marshall placed the Eagles in the championship game against the Lo gan-Rogersville team which had defeated its previous three opponents with a com bined score of 38-3. Logan-Rogersville had also won their semi-championship 11-1 in 7 innings, giving them the advantage of resting their players. But one advantage that cannot be calculated is heart, determi nation and will to win. The state champi onship game ended the first inning with a 2-run lead for Logan-Rogersville. The Ea gles would tie the game in the third inning 2-2 which would remain until the sixth in ning in which the Eagles would explode for four runs making the game 6-2 in favor of the Eagles. No extra innings were needed for this game, as the Eagles held tight and finished the game with an 8-3 state cham pionship win over the Logan-Rogersville Wildcats.Southern Boone Eagles baseball coach Brian Ash had plenty to say about the first ever Southern Boone Missouri baseball championship: “This Championship run this year has been nothing but remarkable. The team has such great leadership on our upperclassman, our underclassman, fol lowed suit on everything. Preparation, at tendance in all activities in the summer and winter workouts, weight room, and other teamCoachfunctions..”Ashwent on to detail what it takes to win a state championship. Champion ships do not happen by luck, or overnight preparation. A planned schedule that would prepare the players for post-season play started off with playing Blair Oaks, Fatima, and Fulton within the first 2 weeks of the season, and winning three important games which impacted district seeding, putting the Eagles in position as the #1 seed in districts. This followed with traveling to Oklahoma and Kansas, staying in hotels and dealing with the travel experiences that would prepare the team for time manage ment and itineraries each player had to fol

low. This helped pave a path of what it was going to be like in the state playoffs.

In the process of winning a state champi onship, the Eagles also set the state record for Triples in an inning (5), Set the state record for consecutive triples in an inning with four vs. Arkansas City, KS, and set a school record in wins in a sea son 34. The team’s ERA of 1.51 is phenom enally low. This was the first district title in 20 years, in which the team also set a record for hits in a season (300) and ended the conference play at 7-0. This is South ern Boone’s fourth state championship fol lowing girls softball, girls track, and boys soccer.

2022 State Champs

“We are the champions, my friends. And we'll keep on fighting 'til the end.” These famous lyrics from Queen’s “We Are the Champions” could not be more appropriate than for the 2022 Class 4 Mis souri baseball champions, the Southern Boone High School Eagles! After opening post-season play with a 6-0 win over Halls ville, MO, the road became a lot tougher for the Eagles. A 3-1 win over private school John Burroughs was just the beginning of what would lead to an amazing, and heart thumping, final four appearance for the first time in Southern Boone’s history.

By: Ernie Wren

Coach Ash also praised the team in that, “This team has no egos so to speak. Each player did their job, played the role, and executed it to perfection. Pitching and de fense was our mainstay and strength. Time ly hitting and good baserunning helped create a very potent offense. Our seniors Carter Karotka, Aiden Andert, Tate John, Braeden Hawkins, Hayden Steelman, and Bradly Smith provided leadership, tough ness, and never quit mentality. This run to the state championship created excitement within our program, school, communi ty, and all the younger athletes that High School sports is important and can bring people together. It has also, allowed our younger players on the team to experience something they will hopefully put the work in to make this experience happen again in the future.”
