Red Oak II - Transplanted Town Red Oak II was the coolest part of our Route 66 trip across Missouri.
[Chuck, 07/20/2010]Although he is known around the world for his collector plates and farm-life figurines, Lowell Davis has spent over a decade working on a slightly larger canvas.
Lowell Davis has moved an entire pioneer Missouri town from its original site, 25 miles away, and reassembled it as Red Oak II. Heralded by roadside Burma Shave-style signs, the buildings there have been preserved as a credible replica of a crossroads town, circa 1929, and include an antique Phillips 66 gas station, a general store, a blacksmith's shop, a feed store, a town hall, a one-room school house, an old country church, and a cemetery.
