About
Red Oak II was the brainchild of internationally known artist, Lowell Davis. Davis was born and raised in a town 20 miles north of Carthage, Missouri known as Red Oak, Missouri. After becoming an adult, Davis left Red Oak. After a number of years, Davis returned to his hometown to find that Red Oak had become a ghost town. After discovering this, he bought buildings from Red Oak and moved them to his family's land near Carthage and gave them new life. He called this creation, Red Oak II. Wandering through Red Oak II you will find a collection of early 20th century buildings like a general store, a Phillips 66 station, an old school house and even an old cemetery.
