GROUP TOUR INFORMATION
FOR OSAGE COUNTY

Looking for a day trip that is different and interesting as well as educational and fun?

Let the Welcome to Osage County Agritourism Council help you make plans to visit Osage County.
We are located in the center of the State of Missouri with two main highways crisscrossing our county, Highways 63 and 50. The mission of the Osage County Agritourism Council is to open our doors to showcase Osage County’s unique communities, heritage, agricultural lifestyle and products.

We provide that rural experience by inviting groups to spend time with us. We will help you plan your itinerary, making all arrangements for you, except transportation and/or lodging. And you may pay for everything with one check. We will also provide a guide so you have the opportunity to get to know a native, ask questions as you travel from each venue and learn the rural life-style we share in Osage County.

In sample files listed below, you will find itineraries for a day in Osage County. These can be modified for two-day stays with overnight accommodations here. We can combine any of the items in the itineraries (depending on distance involved) or add additional ones to make your rural experience complete. We will be glad to give you pricing for any itineraries that you would like us to prepare for you. We can easily customize your itinerary to match interests of your travelers.

Please contact Kay Schwinke or Kathy Dothage if you would like more information about future tour itineraries and planning. Click on links below for samples.
