Hi! Can anyone tell me something about Hartville and the surrounding area? I have tried to do a search, but nothing comes up except for this site. My husband possibly has an interview at the school there.

Thanks!
Kris

There's a school in Hartville??? I know there's a biblical college in Marshfield, but I've never heard of anything in Hartville.

What school is it?

Wikipedia says there's 607 people living there. I have a friend whose family lives in Cabool, so I know a bit about the area, but not much. I suspect there are others who could offer more help than me!

I don't know if you came across this website, but it does have some school and local area information you might find helpful : Wright County Missouri - Quality of life in Wright County Missouri (http://www.wrightcountymo.com/life.htm#educ - broken link)

Hartville also has a middle and high school. It is the county seat of Wright County. I'm not as familiar with the area as others in South Central Missouri, but I'll write what I do know. Wright County is a rural and fairly scenic county, and the main economy is cattle farming in the area, and as a result the county is pretty open and has a lot of pasture land. Hartville is the county seat of the county, and the county also has Mansfield (~1300 people) and Mountain Grove (~4000 people). Mountain Grove has a Wal Mart supercenter and a few other places to shop. It is also fairly close to Springfield. The Gasconade River begins in Hartville, which supposedly has some really good smallmouth bass fishing. The water quality isn't as good as some of the other rivers in the area (North Fork, Jack's Fork, Current, Eleven Point) but I'm sure its still good for floating. I'm sure Hartville and the surrounding area is like the Ozarks in general...scenic, with friendly people, and pretty rural.

I worked in an office there probably 20 years ago. The people are friendly but cliquish. The school is a very big deal and the community revolves around it. If your husband is a good teacher, he will be treated like a star. We went back there for a funeral a few months ago and it felt (as it always has to me) as though I was going back in time to the 40's. It just has that aura about it.

Have only driven through Hartville a couple of times. It seems like a very nice quaint little community. The last time we went through hubby got stopped for speeding!!! But we were coming into town and he just didn't get slowed enough for the cop (who told us that Hartville is known as a speed-trap). He didn't give us a ticket and was real friendly.
I have wanted to stop and check out the town but it seems we are always on our way somewhere else when we go through there.
I think you would enjoy the area.
