Quigley's Castle is called "The Ozarks' Strangest Dwelling" and it just may be. It was built in the 1940s by a lumberman and his wife. Besides her husband and five children, Mrs. Quigley had two loves -- gardening and rocks! She collected rocks her entire life and cemented them to everything in sight-- her house, gates, chairs, fences, tables, planters, bird houses, etc. She planted trees and other plants inside the house, reaching all the way to the second floor, which was designed so that she could "sleep with the birds." Today the property is owned by her granddaughter and the public is invited to tour the gardens and most of the house, except for the private living quarters, for a reasonable fee.
