Springfield Cardinals

Baseball Catch a Springfield Cardinals game and see baseball’s future stars, today

F

or some people, attending a Springfield Cardinals AA baseball game is all about home runs, foul balls, strikeouts and other game details. For others, it’s all about the food promotions, giveaways, on-field contests and all the wackiness they entail.

If you’re in the first category, you won’t be disappointed by the Cardinals top-notch players. As in the past, many of the 2019 team members are sure to move up to the Major Leagues.

If you’re in the second category, you’ll love going to the games in 2019. Returning food promotions include Hiland Dairy Ice Cream Sundays, Great Southern Bank $1 Hot Dog nights on Tuesdays and Klement’s $1 Bratwursts on Thursdays.

The popular promo nights that include fun themes and unique giveaways will be announced prior to the first home game at 7:10 p.m. April 11 when you can expect fireworks after the final inning. Fireworks, in fact, are scheduled for every Friday home game as well as July 1-3 at Hammons Field. In past years, giveaways have included bobbleheads,

beer steins, duffle bags, caps, T-shirts and other memorabilia and collectibles.

The field itself is worth a visit. Named the Texas League Field of the Year in 2018 for the eighth consecutive year and tenth time overall, the stadium and playing surfaces are as well maintained as any Major League facility.

The Cardinals also have introduced a new ticket plan for 2019 called RED Access Memberships that takes the place of season ticket plans. RED Access members will have access to all 70 home games for as low as $19 per month. Four membership levels are available, each including a reserved seat to a designated number of games and unlimited access to every game throughout the season. If you’re a frequent Springfield visitor and a Cardinals fan, one of those levels might be just right for you.

M

issouri is known as The Cave State for good reason. About 6,000 caves have been discovered throughout the state thanks to the karst topography that covers a large part of Missouri. In the area surrounding Springfield, caves are plentiful with many open to the public for tours.

Perhaps the most famous is Fantastic Caverns, well-known for being one of the largest ridethrough caves in North America. Guides stop throughout the cave and explain how the cave and its formations came to be, the group of 12 women who first explored it and how the cave has been

used since it was discovered by a farmer’s dog in 1862. Its storied history includes being a speakeasy during Prohibition and a venue for country music shows in the massive part of the cave that provides perfect acoustics for musicians.

Discovered in 1818, Smallin Civil War Cave features a breathtaking ten-story arch that leads you into rich human history and rare cave life. Guests will often see the rare bristly cave crayfish, endangered blind cave salamanders, and various species of bats! The cave is open year-round for guided, halfmile walking tours and is accessible to strollers, wheelchairs and mobility scooters.

Things to Do

A beautiful landscape of glistening crystals awaits at this vertical cave explored using concrete handrails and steps at Talking Rocks Cavern in Branson West. First named Fairy Cave because it looked like “a subterranean fairy land,” the tour showcases mineral deposits and other geological formations that will leave you awestruck and amazed.

Add Giboney Cave at Doling Park in north Springfield, Marvel Cave at the Silver Dollar City theme park near Branson and others in the area and there are plenty of subterranean adventures to explore.

hether your interests are in local history or events of the past that shaped our nation, historical sites and museums in Springfield will provide education and entertainment for hours. Some are well known while others are quirky and off the beaten path, and they all are worth exploring.

Founded in 1835 and incorporated three years later, the city itself is rich in history. Downtown Springfield, in fact, was the site of a Civil War battle and the second major battle of the war took place just southwest of the city where Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield stands today. The first recorded quick-draw shootout of the Wild West era took place on the town square and the Trail of Tears went through the city. You can find information about local history at The History Museum on the Square and Founders Park.

For the outdoorsy types, check out the museums inside Bass Pro Shops® Outdoor World® and be sure to visit the new Johnny Morris’ Wonders of Wildlife National Museum & Aquarium, a world-class facility showcasing wildlife and sea creatures from around the world.

Other museums and historic sites to explore include the unique History of Hearing Museum, Missouri Sports Hall of Fame, Lew’s Ozark Fishing Museum to learn about the beginnings of rod and reel entrepreneur Lew Childre and legendary fishing guide J. D. Fletcher, The Missouri Institute of Natural Science offering fossils and minerals from around the world, the Railroad Historical Museum, the Springfield Fire Department Museum and others.

Remembering the Battle of

Wilson’s Creek Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield Offers a Fascinating Glimpse into History

W

ilson’s Creek National Battlefield, one of six national parks in Missouri, is a perfect stop for an entertaining and educational experience.

Fought on August 10, 1861, the Battle of Wilson’s Creek was a pivotal battle in Missouri and the second major battle of the Civil War. When the smoke cleared, more than 2,500 Union and Confederate soldiers were killed, wounded or missing in five hours of intense fighting.

General Nathaniel Lyon was killed, the first Union general to die in combat. The Confederates were victorious. Union troops fell back to Lebanon, then Rolla, and regrouped. When they returned to

32

Springfield, the Confederates had withdrawn. The battle led to increased military activity in Missouri and set the stage for the 1862 Battle of Pea Ridge in Arkansas.

The National Park Service, recognizing the significance of the battle, designated Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield in 1960. The 1,750-acre park, just southwest of Springfield, remains greatly unchanged and stands as one of the most historically pristine battle sites in the country.

The visitor center features a 27-minute film, a museum and changing exhibits. A five-mile self-guided tour road allows visitors to explore the battlefield at their own pace. Walking trails lead to various battle sites, including Bloody Hill, the Historic John Ray

House and the Edwards Cabin.

Concerts, special events and educational presentations pepper the park’s calendar listed online. At special events, such as the Ray House Jamboree and the holiday Luminary Tour, park visitors will encounter people dressed in period costumes.

Route 66 Along the Mother Road in Springfield

T

here are indeed some exclusive Route 66 experiences to be had in Springfield — the Birthplace of the Mother Road. Springfield’s emergence as the Birthplace of Route 66 began back in the 1920s when the federal government first mandated construction of a national highway system. A placard on the east side of Park Central Square commemorates Springfield’s 1992 designation as the official birthplace of Route 66.

One of the first stops to make in Springfield for any Route 66 fan is the Route 66 Springfield Visitor Center, a primary source of information for any Mother Road adventure. On the highway’s original right of way through the city, the center offers maps, driving directions and regional highlights that help visitors discover the top things to see and do in the Springfield area and some historical tidbits.

Another source of local Mother Road color is the Best Western Route 66 Rail Haven, a vintage motel

34

that’s been beautifully preserved and updated to combine vintage roadside charm with modern comfort and convenience. Elvis Presley even stayed at the Rail Haven and the room he occupied has been preserved in his honor.

For many years, U.S. 66 passed directly through Springfield’s Park Central Square. Along the city’s commercial and cultural hub, the square is a favorite Springfield feature, and not just because of the History Museum on the Square. The central plaza, which once provided parking for shoppers and travelers, is now an inviting pedestrian space with an appealing blend of shops, bistros and a variety of cuisines nearby.

Just down the road from Park Central Square is the all-new Route 66 Car Museum where you can get close to about 70 vintage cars from a time gone by. After touring the museum, head over to College Street Cafe, right next door to the museum, for comfort diner food. The chicken fried steak

and made-to-order burgers are incredible.

Golfing the Ozarks

W

hether you’re looking to shoot a quick nine holes or test your skills on championship links, Springfield’s golf courses are up to par for every skill level. The Springfield-Greene County Park Board operates four of the city’s public courses that range from a unique 9-hole course that’s lit at night to the award-winning Rivercut Golf Course on the city’s south side.

• For a fun, quick and family-friendly golf course, Betty Allison is designed for you. This par 27, 9-hole, lighted course adjacent to the Bill & Payne Stewart Golf Course is perfect for many ages and skill levels.

• The Bill and Payne Stewart Golf Course, opened in 1947, is the city’s most established and includes two practice greens, a driving range, pro shop and snack bar.

• Perfect for the novice, intermediate, or highly skilled player, the Horton Smith Golf Course spans 6,312 yards of beautifully maintained fairways and meticulous, challenging greens.

• Rivercut Golf Course, ranked the #1 Municipal Golf Course in Missouri by “Golf Digest,” is an 18-hole championship course designed to maximize the challenges of the game amid a breathtaking setting.

• Deer Lake Golf Club is a relatively flat 18-hole course that has a nice mix of open and wooded holes, seven ponds and the unique feature of five holes accessed via a cart tunnel that goes beneath Interstate 44.

The city also is home to five private courses: Hickory Hills Country Club, Highland Springs Country Club, Millwood Golf & Racquet Club, Springfield Golf & Country Club and Twin Oaks Country Club.

There are also a number of breathtaking and challenging golf courses south of Springfield in the Branson area. Big Cedar Lodge is quickly becoming known as America’s Next Great Golf Destination, with courses designed by some of the top names in golf: Tiger Woods, Tom Fazio, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Tom Watson, Gary Player, Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw.

• Top of the Rock Course is one of only two par-3 courses to be used in official competition in a PGA TOUR-sanctioned event. This Jack Nicklaus designed course features nature and golf at its finest.

• Buffalo Ridge Springs brings players in close contact with nature, native grasses and free-ranging buffalo from nearby Dogwood Canyon Nature Park.

• Mountain Top Course routes through unforgettable, 300-million-year-old rock formations and includes some of the most dramatic views in the Ozarks, while delivering a rewarding experience for all skill levels.

• The new Ozarks National Course will test avid players and golf travelers from around the country and provide the perfect complement to the existing 18-hole layout at Buffalo Ridge Springs.

• Coming in 2019, Payne’s Valley — the Tiger Woods-designed golf course is built to showcase the region’s natural beauty. The championship course will feature an extraordinarily dramatic 19th hole, “The Rock,” that can be used to settle unfinished wagers.

Wineries, Breweries & Distilleries

T

he craft beverage industry is thriving in Springfield and the Ozarks. When Springfield Brewing Company opened its doors in downtown Springfield in 1997, it was the talk of the town.

Missouri’s third-largest city finally had a brewpub. The craft brewery and restaurant quickly became the go-to venue in the Queen City where visitors could grab a cold one in the tradition of English-, German- and American-style ales and lagers. That was just the beginning.

Springfield is now home to eight microbreweries with more on the way and a distillery. Wineries are also becoming more common in the area.

As the wine industry in Missouri has grown tremendously over the last three decades, southwest Missouri is getting in on the business with more than a dozen wineries within a day’s drive from Springfield. Just a short drive from Springfield in Walnut Grove, Missouri, is 7C’s Winery — a hometown winery well-known for its wines and meads (wines made from honey) as well as its annual Mead Fest.

Now that you’re more familiar with what the Springfield area has to offer in craft beverages, it’s time to plan your tour of these unique places in southwest Missouri. Take the Ozarks Tap and Pour Craft Beverage Tour and embark on a journey around the Ozarks to experience the region’s growing brewery, winery and distillery scene.

The 2019 Tap and Pour Craft Beverage Tour will launch in May.

The Frisco Highline Trail is Missouri’s second-longest Rail-Trail, winding 35 miles through the scenic Ozarks, connecting Springfield and Bolivar. On what used to be train tracks, the trains have been replaced by bicyclists, walkers and runners. Wheels still turn on this former railroad corridor, but nowadays it’s bicycle wheels spinning instead of rolling iron locomotives. The deer still bound away, the cattle still stare and the small town folks still know how to fry up a pork tenderloin and make a stranger feel welcome.

You’ll find that Giant Pork Tenderloin Sandwich at the legendary Smith’s Restaurant, a locally owned restaurant serving up home-cooked food in a relaxed family atmosphere. Or if you’re in the mood for barbecue, head over to Boone’s Barbecue Barn in Bolivar for mouthwatering smoked meats, homecut fries and hand-breaded onion rings.

Historic downtown Bolivar is home to specialty shops and restaurants along with the historic Polk County Courthouse and Polk County Museum. It’s also home to several events throughout the year including Cruise-Ins (six per year), Annual Car Show and Country Days on the town square.

And you can’t go wrong with their classic Spaghetti & Meatballs made with the D’Arpino family’s famous marinara sauce.

Eatpiccolo.com Japanese food fans can have an exciting meal in front of a hibachi grill at Hinode Japanese Steakhouse and Sushi. Your personal chef puts on a show as he or she cooks up hibachi-style noodles, vegetables, shrimp tasters, and fried rice with your choice of a protein.
