Explore Christian County: Unveiling the Heart of the Ozarks

Show Me Christian County is proud to announce the launch of Explore Christian County, the ultimate resource for discovering the very best of what our community has to offer. Developed with the support of local chambers of commerce, cities, and private investors, and inspired by an exciting collaboration with National Geographic Traveller UK, this project is a celebration of everything that makes Christian County unique.

As seasoned travelers seek out authentic, off-the-beaten-path experiences, Explore Christian County showcases the charm, local businesses, and outdoor adventures that make this area a hidden gem in the heart of the Ozarks. Visitors and residents alike can now explore local restaurants, discover new shopping destinations, and plan their stay—all from one easy-to-use website.

Whether you’re a traveler passing through or a local rediscovering the beauty in your own backyard, this platform connects people with the very best our community has to offer.” — Kristen Haseltine, President/CEO, Show Me Christian County.

Explore Christian County offers comprehensive business directories for dining, shopping, and accommodations, giving local businesses control over their messaging and the ability to connect with a broader audience. The site’s focus is on tourist-friendly businesses that help elevate the visitor experience, from cozy local eateries to unique shopping spots.

In addition to free listings, Explore Christian County offers businesses the opportunity to boost their visibility through affordable advertising options. Whether it's a restaurant looking to attract foodies or a local shop inviting travelers to explore, businesses can leverage the site’s growing traffic to reach a wide audience.

This exciting project would not have been possible without the support and collaboration that brought the National Geographic partnership to life. We extend our sincere thanks to the City of Nixa, the City of Ozark, the Nixa Area Chamber of Commerce, the Ozark Chamber of Commerce, Thessing Commercial Realty, and our private investors. Their invaluable contributions were the snowball effect that sparked the creation of Explore Christian County.

As part of this collaboration, the pieces featured in National Geographic Traveller UK will be released in the spring, offering a unique opportunity for Christian County to shine on an international stage.
